Vossen wheels scam!!!!! Read

so idk if you all have been aware of my certain troubles with my cv1's from vossen wheels that i got. once i got the wheels i noticed my car had a vibration at certain speeds. i did everything i could think of to diagnose this problem before contacting vossen with my concerns. i bought the following and did the following procedures:

-4 new sets of hub rings (metal and plastic)
-swapped out 3 BRAND NEW sets of continental dws extreme contact tires
-mounted and balanced each wheel a total of 15 times to assure proper wheel balance and bead seat (done on top of the line road force balance machine)
-changed out lug nuts and checked the appropiate torque specs.
-changed out the wheels with oem wheels one at a time to diagnose the which one is the culprit
-checked all hubs steering and any other suspension components for any loose play or mechanical malfunction
-had infiniti dealership check the entire car out to assure proper mechanical function
-did 3 different alignments each which i paid for (at 3 seperate locations)

this was a total of almost $4000 including the price of wheels and tires

i have been at this problem for over a month in a half, i made the problem aware to vossen wheels which i get no problem we will send you out a new set of wheels, only to be told when the time comes to make good, that vossen IN THERE OWN WORDS........ DUDE YOUR ****ED IDK WHAT TO TELL YOU. LMFAO...... I dont see how i should pay all this money and then i get scammed on the end.

vossen is a liar and scam artist. they said that im the only one with the problem when clearly its there wheels that are the problem. this should serve as a post never to do business with this company and i will make sure i post on any forum which they are affiliated with.

VOSSEN WHEELS I WILL MAKE SURE I SEE YOU IN COURT YOU PISSED ME OFF AND TREATED ME LIKE A TOTAL PIECE OF ****~!!!!!

Man that sucks..

Does the car stop shaking if you put the OEM wheels back on? That would be my first ?

Also it sounds strange that Vossen wont trade out your wheels for another like set.?

I hope you get it resolved.

If the wheels/tires balanced perfectly on the roadforce balancer, how did you conclude that it's the wheels fault? I would think it's more a mounting issue or a problem with the car.

^If he's not running the proper tire sizes it would be an issue.

Sub'd for updates. Honestly, I don't see why you would spend so much to make sure it's not all the wheels. You probably won't see the money back. And really, for the price you paid you could have gotten some Volks, Work, etc with tires.

What's a "hub ring?" A spacer? If so, did you try running the Vossen rims w/o the spacer?

Yes I did that and no result a hub ring is what keeps your wheel centered since our stock hubs are smaller and afyermarket wheels are bigger bore
