Dude at Discount Tire called me today to let me know my Fuel Throttles came in. I loaded up my Nitto Trail Graps in the back of the truck and hauled ass over there.

I get there and me and my father open up the first box. Wow, fucking sweet wheels.

First Box = 2 nicks in the lip
Second Box = Perfect wheel
Third Box = 2 fucking nicks in the Lip
Fourth Box = 3 Fucking nicks in the lip

Fuel really should ship these wheels with plastic lip protectors NOT a fucking thin foam ring or they should be more careful before shipping wheels out.

They sent out 8 wheels for the first shipment. Four of those were mine. Three were fucked up.

NOW I have to wait until June 15th for 3 more wheels.

:supergay:

I'd be fucking pissed and demanding express shipping on a replacement or I'd be taking my business elsewhere

Dude, fuel has been this way lately. I have guys waiting over 3 weeks for wheel. It probably no ones fault but fuel. They grew faster than expected much like bmf did they are pumping out all they can. I have been offering 100% money back to customers but you can't find them anywhere any faster if they are not out there. I still have not seen my first set throttles. What size/color did you get? I am super anxious to see the black 20x12 or bigger.

Word on Fuel starting to drop the ball.
I've had my 20x12 Hostages on for about 3 weeks now and one of the little chrome "bolt/nut" deals that are at the end of each spoke has flew off. I have contacted them about it and was told one would be in the mail asap, but that was a week ago and havent seen it yet...

I got the black/machined 20x10 and it's a friggin sweet wheel. I was about to order BMF SOTAs but I figured I would get the Fuels and save $500

I can post a pic of the one good wheel later if you guys want me to.

Yeah for sure, post pics. Your truck will look insane with black rims!

 

[budrun]

Any real pics of the wheel?

 

[Austinbelair]

Uploading pics now.

I'm fucking done with Fuel Wheels. The fourth wheel is fucked as well. Powdercoating missing on a 2" section of the lip, the back is partially powdercoated and there are marks on the face of the wheel.

I'm sending this one back on Monday as well and ordering the BMF SOTAs

I'm not pissed at Discount or anything. I know it's not their fault. I've bought over 12 sets of wheels of tires from one dude that worked Discount over the last 10 years but he just left the company and it's like I'm jinxed now that he's gone.
