SD Wheel Corp Review / my new Fuel wheels
#11
Man the price difference is a quite a bit an that has me not knowing what I wanna go with... What width did you go with? I gotta get the 10" wide cause I want a lot of tire sticking out... So ethier 285/65/18 on 18x10 -24mm or a 295-305/55/20 on a 20x10... Trail grapplers
I went with a 9". I would think a 10" in -24 offset would stick wwwwwaaaaaayyyyyy out there

fuel wheels are garbage
Bought a 2013 f250 powerstroke brand new. Ive put 22000 miles on it, pretty much all on highways. I've already had to replace two cracked wheels what a joke. If anyone is thinking about purchasing fuel wheels think twice cause they are complete junk.

Hate to be the only negative one, but I ordered295/70/18 Trails, with Ballistic Macericks I believe? Off of their eBay account.
Well, I received an email about a week after my order saying they didn't have the wheels, they were on back order, and I could either wait approximately a month, or pick a new set of wheels for an up charge.
Against my better judgement I upgraded XD Monsters for around $70 more. A pretty good deal, but it still took 4-5 weeks for my wheels and tires to come in. I got an awesome deal, (around $1950) for 295/70/18 Trails and -12 offset XD Monsters. But it took quite a while for them to come in, and I didn't get the wheels I ordered because they were selling wheels that they did not have. Kind of sounded like a scam to me at first but it worked out.
Just letting every one know of my experience. If anybody doubts my story I will prove my purchase lol. Probably will order from them again for Jeep wheels and tires.

I am absolutely shocked at the positive feedback here regarding SD Wheel Corp. I found out about them through eBay. I ordered a 20" Scarlet Davis SW-5 wheel and tire package from them which was specifically labeled as being in stock and ready for shipment. And after a full week of them holding onto my money, they contacted me and told me the product was actually never in stock, and that they would need to order it from the manufacturer! After an additional week of waiting for the special order, they contacted me again to inform me that the manufacturer discontinued that wheel, and that it was no longer available for purchase! So after telling them to just ship me the new tires alone, they spent an additional full week just shipping them out! Approximately a full-blown month has passed in order for me to receive an order from them. They even admitted to me that they don't have time to maintain the accuracy of their stock! I will never purchase from them ever again.

Well I to am having pretty major problems with SD Wheel Corp. it all started when I found a set of method 105 bead lock wheels on ebay they had listed. I called to get a package deal price with toyo at2's but ended up later going with nitto terra grappler g2 so I could get a larger tire that I wanted. Now the bead lock part of the issue is partially my fault because honestly I didn't really understand how they worked. So I asked them when I called since they are the tire and wheel specialist. The salesman told me basically they were more for mudding to keep the tire from spinning on the wheel so I figured that would work and I liked the way they looked so I went with them not knowing that they are a off road use only wheel and not dot approved. Nowhere in the listing nor was I told on the phone this bit of info.
The second part of the issue came up when I received the shipment because when they mounted and balanced the wheel/tire they did it incorrectly and mounted the tire to the inside of the outside lip and never assembled the outer locking ring to the wheel. Not knowing this was wrong I had the local ford dealer mount the tire on the truck then drove to my brothers about 10 miles away to put the rings on since they were all packaged and in a box and I thought this was my next step. Well once I realized that the locking ring wouldn't actually work like this I tried to call SD but it was after normal hours so I left a voice mail then contacted Method race wheel and was told how dangerous they were and to remove them and not to drive on them. They were shocked at the way they were assembled and said that there could be possible damage to the wheels themselves. So now I sit with near 2500 dollars worth of rims and tires that they say I may need to pay restocking fees and shipping cost on. I really don't see how I should be responsible for anything since it was on them which they admitted in my email conversation. I just want my money back and am currently waiting for the return manager to decide what they are going to do about it. Now I will say the people I have spoke with are very polite but all of them have to ask someone else what they can do for me. Also for whatever reason I cant seem to actually talk to the manager since according to one of the reps he don't call customers. I have pictures and email conversations saved for possible future court dates which I sure hope don't come to that but at the rate things are going I'm thinking its going to end up that way. Ill update when I hear what they decide to do and I am interested to know if anyone thinks I should be responsible for anything in their opinion.
