Greg Weld Wheels are a Joke

Well as most of you have seen in some of my pics I had posted I had bought Greg Weld rims for the front of the truck and was waiting for them to come out of back order, and come back in stock so I could order the back rims. Well I finally got the back rims yesterday they were 15x12 with a 6 inch backspace and they were a sweet set of rims, so I go to put them on the truck and I can't get them to clear the caliper, I am running a wilwood disk brake setup, and the wheel wouldn't clear it by and 1inch and a half, so now I am getting extremely fustrated now, and call greg weld the one line is disconected and the other line is constantanly busy. So I call Jims Racing Tires where I bough them from and he gives me the number to the guy thats in charge, and start playing phone tag with him, he tells me that the 15x12 or the 15x14 are not designed to work with wilwood or other racing brake companies and they designed the rim wrong, He said they should have a new wheel to work with these brakes in 3 months, he told me I could have my brakes cut down, but I am not going to cut a brand new kit thats stupid. I waited 6 months for these rims to come back instock and they don't fit cause everyone told me they would fit I have ran weld racing rims and centerlines before and they clear the brakes fine. So after all the BS I am sending the back rims back and buying weld racing rims, and I guese I will have to sell the fronts, I am sorry to say this but Greg Weld is a Joke there customer service stinks, and if nobody noticed summit racing dropped them as a vendor. I will never buy from them again.
