Ford is Finally Releasing the 18x8.5 OE Polished Bullits. I got My First Set in Yesterday. Thanks to Totally Inadequate Packaging and FED EX'S Finest I have a Set of 4 DAMAGED UNSALABLE very Rare Wheels. I Called an Emailed Every Ford Source I know to get the Packaging Up to Snuff Before the Next Sets Arrive. I got a Call from the Packager apologizing and Wanting to remedy the Situation. I took a Bunch of Pics for them and hopefully in the Future this will no Longer be a Concern. Meanwhile I got some good Door Stops. They are a bit Spendy though! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: I will Update when The next {Cross your Fingers} properly Packed set comes in. I went through this on the 17 inch Polished Bullits 2 out of 8 and 4 out of the 28 Fanblades I had ordered were damaged. I have to Personally Inspect every wheel I get so My Customers do not have to go through this!

Are they in any way repairable?

 

thats terrible. I don't like using fed-ex or any other company because of that very reason, they break stuff!

 

That'll buff right out.

Seriously, it doesn't look that bad.

You can proabably get it repaired - just make sure to send the bill to FedEx.

 

Either the shipper will replace at no cost to you or the distributor you bought them from will. I don't understand why you say that you are stuck with 4 damaged rims. What am I missing here besides the annoyance and inconvenience?

 

Could get it fixed but why should you have too? Thats just a little much and definetly not a "picky" scratch or dent.

 

KC,

Any idea when the chrome and argent bullits are coming out?

 

because he has customers that want to buy them.......time is money.....

 

Kevin, other than the ding from the poor packaging, what do you think of the wheels? Are they better quality than the ones that are being sold on e-bay? And when you say pricey, how much are we talking about?

 

OE Wheels Fit without Spacers and have to meet new car safety Standards. I have these wheels listed on my Latest Hotsheet along with the new Carroll Shelby Wheels which by the way meet new car standards also. They are a Gorgeous Wheel. Thats why it is so sickening to me. What a Waste.This is one of the FIRST sets Manufactured.

Send Me an Email if you would like Pricing.

CHECK POST 40 to see how a wheel should be boxed.

 

Approx 30 Days Per FORD. BTW I have already talked to FORD Accessories about Packaging They {tell me} it is not an Issue on the ACCESSORY Wheel.

 

Give the Man a Prize!

 

If you want to throw them away, I will mail you a UPS pickup slip and I'll throw them away in my dumpster if you want.

 

That has got to be the worst packaging job I have ever seen on a rim. At least American Racing puts a plastic protective sleeve around the outside of the rim.

 

Yeah, even the ones from mustangtuning.com come packed like the Shelby's.

 

does that mean i get a free set...and no not the dented ones....

 

Hard to find good help these days

 

Kevin, while they are not shown, I assume the tri-bar pony center caps are included with the wheels? Please confirm.

Thanks.

 

These are OE Replacement wheels not Accessory. They come BARE. The Accessory Wheels will come with caps and lug nuts.

That can't be fixed! Its scrap!
I expect them to replace the wheel.
