OzHemi, I don't think I'm ever going to complain about customer service again after a story like that. You must have the patients of a saint.

On a slightly unrelated note, do the lugs they sell have the same issues? Mine are completely hit and need to be replaced.

This is really troubling to hear as I really wanted to get a set of new sbp Cragars for my pink Duster for that day two look.

Oz, do you deal with these people that make the Cragars? If so, how do you go about getting a custom set made... like 15 x 4s?




I've gone through Summit Racing on the last 2 custom BS sets of cragars I ordered...And reason being if there was an issue they'd take them back without the involved with dealing with Carlisle wheel &tire.....Not only does the chrome durability seem to be suffering but the actual prep/finish of the deep dish components leave something to be desired so mabe that is the real reason behind the plating not having a chance...
I'm not talking about the old peeling issues around the alloy cast lugnut areas they've always done that over time...The last set went back because of what appears to be lathe turns on the rim...Front to back like it was chucked up, spun and not properly finished off...Take a good look at the new ones and you see what I'm talking about its on all of them to some degree...
