School is over and I started working for the summer. Got my wheels today from 4 wheel parts. I would never and will never order from this place again. What a disaster I am just glad to have them. Should be mounted tomorrow but I think I may wait until I do shackles and t bar crank this weekend.

Nice wheel choice! What were the issues you had with them?

I am curious on the issues as well, spread the word so no other member has the same problem.

Mostly grinding my teeth after reading the reviews online. They showed up today in a package that was almost completely destroyed and two of the wheels were chipped. Nothing too serious but that company doesnt care about their customers at all. No email confirmations or communication. I shouldn't have to hunt down a sales rep to get a delivery confirmation. Just read online about the horror stories. Im convinced that the only reason I got the correct product and in a timely manner is because trans american owns 4 wheel parts and pro comp. I was pretty nervous and kicking myself in the @$$ for not ordering from summit like usual. Also the products I ordered that were non trans american are "back ordered". Company is notorious for this.


Do a search for 4 wheel parts complaints or reviews.
Trustpilot and jeepreviews have some ridiculous stories about this company and they also have been in trouble with the FTC and other government agencies for all related issues.
I would not recommend this company to any fellow forum member.
Well aside from that, I am pretty excited to do my shackles this weekend. I have been soaking the bolts for 3 weeks now lol.

Looks good! Need to get you some black lug nuts and center caps now. I don't have center caps either I just shoot mine with a light coat of black though so they don't stick out so bad.

Thats on the spray paint list for this weekend. I was just way too excited to not mount them lol. Plus I can't even mount tires in front of my apartment without getting in to a shouting match with our supervisor. Ridiculous. Today he didn't catch me though haha

I hear that I used to get complaints all the time for working on vehicles in front of my condo until I pointed out the fact that our bylaws allow me to work on my vehicles. That and I almost beat the crap outta one of our board members that was always complaining stupi thing is he lives 2 streets away and would still complain till I confronted him

Starter went out last night. Put a new one in this morning and I finally got to drive with the new tires/wheels. Minor fender rubbing so looks like I have a little bit of trimming to do. Here is a better picture:
