Need some US help with a wheel

[Paul S Lacey]

Hi guys and gals,

Anyone receommend a wheel refinisher in the USA East Coast prefered who would refinish an SRT10 front wheel. No one in England can but I do have a UPSA account and a box so it would be easy for me to ship the wheel back for a refurb.

I bought one from Detroit Wheel and Tyre but after six months it looks like the base of the clearcoat is cracking badly and the wheel looks a mess.

Might also help me if a Viper owner in the US could manage this for me most companies have little trust in overseas customers.

They have 2 east coast locations. No personal experience, but have heard positive FB from other VCA members re: Dallas location.

What does Detroit Wheel and Tire have to say about it? Tell them you're going to leave negative feedback at their ebay store if they don't stand behind their product..

Edit: I've sent Detroit Wheel and Tire an email and link to this thread thru their ebay store asking whether they are going to help you out or not. Maybe others can do the same to let them know the Viper community is watching to see whether they stand behind their products..

Here's the response via ebay from Detroit Wheel and Tire:

The person who purchased the wheel is welcome to contact us and we can surely figure out what we can do to rectify the problem.​
