| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had purchased a set of seventeen inch centerline rims, and have had nothing but problems. the manufacturing process didnt identify the centerpiece which protrudes and applies pressure to the valve stem causing it to eventually shear off and rapidly flatten my tire. since im running low profile tires with the rims it is hard to identify flat tires until hitting something that feels solid. ive had two shear off so far and have spent hundreds in tires and wheel repairs or replacement but still more is needed to remove numerous dents that even when repaired wont look like they did before. ive contacted centerline on several occasions and have been told i must pay to have them shipped to los angeles where they will alter the rims. i paid for these rims with this flaw and centerline expected me to pay for them to be fixed. centerline manufactured this problem and should be the ones paying to ship or replace the rims. being a full time student currently money is understandably tight, and my believe this that if the rims cant be safely manufactured they shouldnt be manufactured at all. my occasional two year old passengers safety is of up most importance, and having a blow out can obviously have very dangerous results. centerline apparently cares more about the money then the safety of their customers and for that reason im warning possible customers of the dangers some centerline rims can result in, and their lack of doing what is morally and ethically right because of losing a buck or two. |
