    MudBug73,
    Are there any quality issues on the Forgitron? I continue to ask other drivers of this brand wheel and seems like I come up with blanks...
    I have seen the Alcoa LVL One, nice wheel finish...
    Sanderson Tech, mentioned earlier in the posts that the Forgitron was similiar to the LVL brightness finish.
    Any comments on these wheels?

    I have Forgitron wheels on my trailer...They have an excellent finish and are of superb quality.
    If I could find someone to trade my Alcoas off of my tractor for Forgitrons I would do it in a heartbeat!


    They just seem to hold a good polish longer.

    I polish them a couple or three times year and use soap,water and microfiber towels the rest of the time....Don't ever "dry wipe" a wheel to get dust or dirt off of it, Always use a rag that's wet with clean water and then towel it off otherwise you'll scratch and dull it and it'll need repolishing. and what name brand of polish do you use?[/QUOTE]

    Wanted to thank you for buying our wheels. Our lead times where high in the summer - major reason was obtaining enough aluminum to meet our demand needs. Now we are working away on our backlog and should be well on track to shorter lead times by end of this year.

    With respect to market knowledge - our management team has over 100 years of combined experience in the market. Our Manufacturing Rep was a Sales Director for one of our major competitors for years. However, if you have any suggestions on what we can do just let us know.

    Again thanks for the nice words - our goal is to please our customers - and that is you!!
