Angry New HP Evo wheels

If you are looking for replacement wheels take heed. AVOID The Wheelguyz of Hialeah Florida. There have been 36 complaints to the BBB in the past 12 months. I was burned recently when I bought a wheel and tire complete package mounted, balanced with lugs, locks and hub centric rings. I was charged $1599. I got the wheels and tires two days later (I live in northern Florida) but there were no lugs, locks or rings shipped with the wheels. I called and got put to voicemail, left a message and got no answer. I was told they would ship the lugs that day. They didn't come and when I called they said the hub cerntric rings were on backorder. I bought the lugs locally and installed the wheels, but I could not find hub rings where I live. The wheels vibrate at 50 mph. The hub centric rings are necessary. I called Wheelguyz back and they said the rings would be shipped out that day. They weren't. I have been given the runaround for almost a week. They never contact me to let me know they are not able to ship the item. I requested a refund of the amount I paid for the lugs and locks and I'm getting the runaround again. The HP EVO wheels look great on my car, but if you are looking for them try THE SPEED SHOP in Miami or 305 Wheels in Miami.

if you paid with credit card, file a complaint with your credit card company and refuse to pay them. that should teach them a lesson.

I'm sorry to hear about that, sometimes its just best to take things like this as a learning experience. If there is anything you need contact us and we'll be glad to help. Are those 18's, they seem liked they based your fitments off of another car. The wheels are really pushed in, in the rear.

Sorry to hear about the bad experience. It is good to put the word out so others can avoid troubles working with this seller. I know that we are fortunate enough to have a vendor here that is highly knowledgeable and respect, D2Autosport. I bought my wheels from them and they did a great job from start to finish

Say no to knock off rims.

and stay in school.

This is the reason we should all buy quality rims. All quality wheel makers only let quality retailers sell their rims. This is how you receive quality service.
