Pete Paulson Wheels
 
Pete Paulson Wheels since 1961! Enough said! Just a warning to stay away from. I have ordered many items from them, all being low quality. Bad customer service, and if you need to return, it's not happening. They still owe me money! Just saying! I feel better!:alc:

Longer is always better, except in this case!

I remember their store from the 1960’s when they were on 150th in San Leandro. Never bought anything from them but I don’t remember why. Sorry to hear about your bad experiences.

From what I’ve read Rally America is a good outfit to work with. I’ve seen many positive comments from satisfied customers on a few of the web forums.

For a while they were even offering the old school tapered rim reversed wheels (no safety beads), but I don’t see that specialty on their current web display.

Yeah,let's make this the informative thread the review board is all about. I mean,I'm glad you feel better and all that,but let's gain something positive from the negative.
I hadn't figured on buying from Pete Paulson for a while now,since by their website it appears they just sell wheels like anyone else. Do they still fabricate wheels?

The only advise I'll give on this subject. If you type in a vendor address and up pops an add for Peter Pumps high heals you may not want to buy wheels from them.

I just looked at their OEM wheel offerings. First of all,no 5 on 5 listed. What's weird is at the top it says "Chrome Reverse add $25 and 5 1/2" bolt pattern add $10. But,on the chart both are listed with prices already: Chrome is $98 more than raw and 5 1/2" bolt pattern is the same as 4 1/2" in a given size. So,what's the deal? Add more to that? To say the least,it's not very clear what they actually cost.

And,just like I noticed before,they don't even advertise any wheel building. re they just a dealer now for wheels you can find anywhere,closer and maybe cheaper?

Have made two purchases from them and both have been a problem. Wrong size, style, etc. Both have been returned. On the last order, I shipped back to them and they received them, but no refund. Each time I call it's always one more excuse. Trust me, don't bother with these people and go some place else. As for the photo, I just threw that in. You guys have a good one.

I tried to order wheels from them once and it was a nightmare had to get my CC company involved.

Well,thanks for the heads up. I know you must be pissed. Money doesn't grow on trees. Sounds like they're a once was but now ain't.
