I wonder when does 8 to 10 weeks will be up lol ... Called them 4 months later they said same thing someone is reviewing it and will contact you... I just gave up... Either way they told me that its not guaranteed that I will get compensated for it...

Straight bullsh*t
I know a guy that just got them to pay. If you get a lawyer to write them they will pay out faster I guess. He said to let them know you are serious. Same thing happened to my wheel it sucks.

That sucks, would it be cheaper to buy a new wheel? probably not, since those nismo are hard to get.

Hmm very interesting ... Great suggestion! ... But any idea roughly how much the lawyer charged to write the letter? And I'm curious if I can still do it.

any wheel repair place can fix that right up. Should only cost around 200 or so.

sorry to hear bro

my front right wheel is very slightly bent (i believe) since it leaks air overtime and I'd have to fill up air into the tire every 2-3 weeks. no noticeable bent though :\
