those welds have been ground on, repaired, something. we have a machine welder and Clint is certified. that doesnt even look mig.?? the paint is not even the same. I understand he had pinholes in them and repaired obviously those are the repair welds huh? I called Kyle directly and the welds have been ground off. I also offered to ship them back at my cost and repair the pinholes but he said he didnt need to/ want to.

That is MIG without any doubt. It is just so absolutely horrific that it's almost painful to look at. From the look of it I'd guess your 'welder' (I'm using the term as loosely as I can here) is certifiable, not certified. Either that or he is/was drunk, blind or most likely did that while not wearing a helmet of any sort. That spatter area circled is not typical of any stick welding I've ever seen, but is common to a MIG machine that is running very poorly (either set-up issues or consumable/maintenance issues)

I can clearly see that rim hasn't been touched after it arrived at your customer. The grind marks appear to have originated at your shop and then painted over. This tells me that what was there first was even worse looking than what it looks like now. I'm certain that if your customer had made any repairs the rim would have looked a ton better than this. The alternative is for us to believe that your customer purposely fugged a rim up and then took pic's to try and make you look bad? The very suggestion makes my blood boil, and you should be thoroughly ashamed.

I think it's high time you took responsibility for the lack or quality, the lack of timeliness and for the total lack of manners and decency on your part. Either hire a QA guy and be prepared for the multitude of rejects until you get it right or close the shop down and admit you cannot build quality anything.

I agree, Jelles! Would you do the honor of hiring me as Dumbass's quality control inspector? :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal:
 
Westy,


In seriousness Daniel needs Skulznbonz and a concience. Let John inspect the work, and you can stand there behind Daniel with a big hammer. If Daniel tries to ship out crap that John rejects you bop Daniel.

Problem solved...although Daniel would still have to hire a welder that isn't legally blind. :crazy:

How big of a BFH are you gonna let me use? :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal: :deal:
 
hell what about the rusty mettel next to the weld looks like the dust around a mig weld (one that hasent been cleaned though
 
Rene, I pulled this pic from Dumbass's site:

I really think that could be one of John's pictures and Dumbass taking credit for it by using it on his site. Just a guess there.
 
That is the way it's supposed to look. That is dual shield flux cored wire, probably .045" and done on a rotator by someone that actually knows how to weld. I'd guarantee that was not done in the same shop as the rim pic I posted. Most likely a stazworks rim...

I was thinking a 3 foot chunk of 2x4 would do the trick for keeping him honest...:D

The welds on my last set of rims from Daniel look just like that, they are rather nice.
 
I agree that those welds look absolutely horrible and should not be on a wheel or anything else critical.

However, in all fairness, I've also seen some of Dan's latest wheels and the welds look just like those nice welds shown. I don't know what to think about that awful picture, but the wheels I saw looked to be as good as any wheel I've ever seen, at least as far as the welds go.
 
The question remains then...what is Daniel gonna do about those rims? His first reaction was to blame the customer, or more accurately accuse the customer of making the rim look like that in an effort to make Daniel look bad. :angry1: :angry1:

I don't care how good 'some' of the stuff looks that is allegedly coming from his shop now. IMO that isn't even the point anymore. I don't think Daniel can possibly even come close to fixing all the crap he has sold over the years anymore. It's been shown time and time again that he cannot consistantly provide a good quality product. It's also been shown time and time again that he cannot meet a deadline. Lastly, there are several people on this board who have not gotten their issues with his products dealt with in any satisfactory manner.

A nice rim now pales in comparison to the havoc he has already created with many here and elsewhere. Adding insult to injury are the feeble excuses and outright lies and accusations aimed at the very people he hopes to make a living from.

hmmm... if this conversation took place anywhere other than in your shop... YOU ALREADY ****ING RELEASED THEM LIKE THAT! :doah:
 
You guys got me wanting to take my rimms out of storage to take a look at them I dont remember them being that bad but I think I will need to take a look agin to see.
 
Why offer to help someone who has screwed over so many people in the industry? Not to mention he has put out so many shoddy products over the years and doesn't seem to care or change?

Well, first and foremost, $$$$. Second, with a little effort, this guy could turn out some useful, quality products, and third, I hate to see someone drag the State of Oklahoma down.

First on the to do list, fire "Stevie Wonder" and hire a real welder.

$$$$ would make sense but you first offer you posted this:

It seems you have some serious quality issues, and I would be willing to help you out (for a fee of course).

So thats why I thought you were a little :crazy: ... :thumb:

You have a point and USA6x6 coudl turn out some quality products. But I think Daniel has reuined his rep with too many people... Sure there are alot out there that haven't heard of them, but there are way too many that HAVE.... And too many that have been burnt.....

Plus there are other places selling the same things with excellent quality(and reps) that I'd rather send my $$ to....
 
What I don't understand about Daniels "return it and we will fix it" motto is, why would you want to do that when you could do the job right the first time and get no call-backs? If he did that, then everyone would be happy and business would be good. Sending something back for them to "fix" or "correct" is NOT my idea of good business, especially when it happens to so many customers. :angry1:

To Dumbass: do the job right the first time and business will pick up. Also, quit farking around with dates and times. Thats just pure stupid when you can't follow thru with your "promises". :angry1:

Another tip to Dumbass: quit making stupid excuses for customers when they ask for their products. Tell the the truth. The truth goes a long ways with trust when you can tell them what the situation is. If the truth is just a simple fact that you're lazy and greedy, tell them. I'd rather hear that than some lame and different excuses each time I called you. :surepal: :surepal: :surepal: :surepal: :surepal: :surepal:
 
i wonder if many do returs there wheeel to him?


i mean he seems to take sooo long to deliver in the first place, would they ever see the wheel again??
