Like the title says everyone. Pictures will tell all...I was driving today down a middle lane and i started hearing this loud squeaking sound. Did know what it was until i got home to notice that 2 of my spokes on my TSW thruxtons have totally snapped in half. Look at pics. I saw this earlier in the day on one rim but i thought it was the chrome plating just breaking since they are dipped in chrome.....Then it happens to the next spoke when i became aware...

What do you suggest i do? I bought them from a member off here.....When i recieve them they were in great condition. Should I contact TSW and see if i can get a new rim? Do you think they will send me one?

please let me know fellow g members.

 

I think you should definitely contact TSW, that is some scary stuff

 

yeah tell me about it...i couldnt figure out what the sound was....I looked at there website and it says that all of there rims have a lifetime warranty. The only problem i have is since i have them chrome plated are they going to say that is what caused it.....

 

They might, but it's worth the call, they don't want any bad publicity about their products.

 

Def. contact TSW....They can't use ignore that problem, chrome plate or not, that shouldn't happen.

 

im going up to discount tire tomorrow since they are an authroized TSW dealer....TSW website states that they do not deal directly with customers.

 

Talk to TSW but either way that wheel is trash.

 

yeah i know that much from it. I am going to have to get a the new one chromed as well......so that it matches..I have a shop local around me that can do it! So that is good. Just need to get the new rim.

 

Your shop will send it out to cali to chrome...no texas shops chrome

 

wow! that could have caused some serious $hit to happen to you and your car!

 

there is a shop here in dallas that does it.

 

yes i know. Well i went up to discount tire today and TSW wont do anything about it. Since i purchased them off this forum...I dont have proof of purchase therefore they will not warranty it. I didnt tell discount this...i said that my parents bought them as a gift for me...But anyways its 271.00 per rim.

 

that is so ridiculous contact the headquarters directly and see if they can do anything there?

 

thats the problem....they dont have a number to contact....they dont deal with customers directly.

 

holy crap... you do realize that this could have easily killed you...
