The wheels aren't even boxed? Knowing UPS, they could really get damaged. I guess it must not be much of a problem or they wouldn't be doing it.

Yes, I was shocked when the UPS driver rolled them off the truck. Two packages of two tires each, wrapped in that plastic wrap stuff, the side which faced down on the truck body completely worn off with visible scratches on the outside of the steel rim.

Needless to say if it wasn't for their 'free shipping over $99 policy' I'd would have been really upset. For a $650 order you would think they could have at least used cardboard boxes. I guess that is one way of reducing shipping costs, cut your shipping supplies and hope the items don't get returned due to shipping damages.

 

I'm wondering if Rocky Mountain ATV ships alloy wheels and tire sets the same way, just wrapped in plastic, anybody know?

 

Yeah, I want to be the first guy to damage my wheels....not UPS[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

That is my question as well...being that it is the alloy set that I want. How long did it take to receive your wheels once you made the order?

 

Fast, they shipped from Utah the same day I placed the order online. I think it was about 3 days to Northern California.

 

If you order a set from them, call and mention the issues I had with their shipping procedures and that you are concerned the same could happen to a new set of alloys and tires. (poor shipping packaging, low tire pressure causing the bead to become un-set)

 

I will definitly do that. Are you using the low pressure tire gauge that came with the Rancher, or did you pick up an aftermarket one?

I had to use the gauge from my Yamaha Bruin. Honda gauge only goes to 5 PSI if memory serves me correct. You'll need a gauge that can show correct pressure.

Ah yes...yet another thing I have to order.
