Beware of Mauro Motorsports (-1)

Hi all.

I just want to give a heads up to you all.

As some of you guys might know, I have been search for a single GunMetal SubZero to replace my cracked wheels. I finally gave in and decided to buy one from Mauro Motorsports located in New York(?). The order was placed some time ago, Feb. 8th or 9th. I was hoping to get the wheel in 3-5 business days. Never got the wheel. After two or three weeks, I emailed and called them and they never replied. I totally understand if they are busy or something, but come-on.... at least take care of the situation professionally.

Before I forget, I called around to the local vendors and they didn't have the wheel.

Anyways, I tried again to contact them this weekend and I finally filed a dispute with PayPal. This morning I received a full refund, but still no explanation or apology from the vendor.

-1 for Mauro Motorsports

Yeah. I know... but Anthony at Mauro said he had some in stock. He must have been misinformed.

I had the same experience with those guys (long time to get order, no response to calls/email, etc) but I did eventually get my stuff, though it was just before I went for a refund.

5 technically. One is cracked and I use it as a TV stand. 4 are on the car. 3 of those are okay, and the fourth is cracked at the spoke of base.

why not get some used rotas,

and make sure you use a decent tire. some tires like kumho 711/712 have really hard sidewalls and like to crack rims. hate those tires.
