What are some wheel brands or companies to stay away from?

Besides Martians bad customer service and I'm thinking Titan also, what are some wheels or companies to avoid?

You are highly unlikely to be interacting with the actual wheel manufacturers during your shopping experience.

1. Are you asking which distributors provide better customer support and have better inventory management practices than others?
2. Or which wheel brands are stronger/lighter/hub-centric?
3. Or which wheel wheels are the cheapest / best looking, while still somewhat moderately usable?

Those are three (3) very different, and frequently mutually exclusive objectives!

Good questions.

Good questions. I am just asking what brands of wheels would people avoid and what companies would people avoid ordering from.

Specifically customer service. Hard to have problems with wheels when they are continually out of stock of those wheels

Supply is still a very big issue, and Titan7 makes wheels for many brands. Hard to make wheels without Aluminum blanks.
