- On this episode of Wheel History, we take a look at the history of WCI Wheels. We cover how they managed to blow up in a short period of time, but at the same time almost managed to destroy their brand when their owner made racial comments towards an employee. Find out more when we go more in-depth on WCI wheels in this weeks episode of “Wheel History.” What are your thoughts on WCI? Let us know down in the comment section!

Thumbs up if you enjoyed 🤘🏽
Fitment Industries there's no doubt you won't find info I know you can!!
What about ambit wheels?
Can you do Niche Wheels next please?
Do K3projekt. They just disappeared and no one knows why.
Because there's a slow season for wheels and some companies don't have the capital to keep up with expenses.
10/10 meme placement
❤️
Holy smokes Halcyon! The myth the legend! Lol, sorry had to do it.
lol...ooh man "White Clan Industries". Internet was going nuts when that happened
dude this was like the twin towers man i remember exactly where i was when this happened. i couldnt even get anything done at work i was so busy laughing at all the facebook drama that was following this entire fucking disaster hahaha
most controversial wheel company of recent years, YES I AM READY
THEONE2F3AR the day it became a meme was a crazy one
StankyMcNasty killll i remember that shit.
Didn't know what wci was, didn't ask for it, but glad you did it. Buddy club now? Jeez what a name
Sucks how racist the owner is because personally I really like their designs
Their designs are sick! Owner... not so sick.
Fitment Industries idk the owner is also sick, not in a good way.
I remember when this happened. Many meme pages were created (yes, I even made one lol ). Unfortunately, many people began selling their wheels right away because they didn't wanted to do nothing with the company and for what it stood for during that time.
I want wci but my bank account says otherwise
They are not the the cheapest, but worth it. Creds and looks
Honestly, WCI makes some quality wheels, and before I finished this video I was like "yea I could probably look past whatever happened." But after I did some research on the incident I just felt embarrassed for them, most immature shit I've seen in a long time. Never gonna get my $$$ WCI.
When my Corrado needs wheels I’ll most likely be getting from you guys 🤙
My man ❤️
g60 or vr6 I have a alpine 90 g60
Jonah Cantore vr6 for now 2.8 going to get the t on it someday :]
nice, good to see another corrado, join burnallthecorrados on facebook they have plenty of information and parts for sale.
Jonah Cantore deff will when I log on just need a few more interior pieces 😢
It's amazing how a business can get a bad name fast. Hope it doesn't happen to anyone
I look forward to these videos so much
Thanks dawg 🙌🏽❤️
Please do a "The truth about AVID-1 Wheels"! Considering them for their price point.
It’s on the docket🤙🏽
Watercooledind is here in my home town and these guys are really chill everything is done in house from powder coating to tire stretching, they’re legit.. yes that happened but everyone in that whole ordeal has moved on from that onto bigger things
you can't knock the guys that are doing the work. i will buy a set
truth about wci instagram page. tons of stories about missing center caps, cast wheels crumbling, and people getting used wheels when they ordered new to name a few
I remember when that whole racism thing went down. I was going to buy a set of WCI's but I ended up buying Rotiform's instead because of the image that got attached to WCI with the racism stuff.
It is sad how ppl decide to buy something completely irrelevant to the end product. Like saying I wont buy a German or Italian car cause they started 2 wars or I wont buy American stuff cause they nuked Japan
Yaaaaaasss!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Finally I was waiting for this. Thank you and great video!!
Did you like it?!
I loved it!! You guys always do a great job!!
Wish videos like this would up every week really like this videos of knowing the history of wheel companies
They take up an insane amount of time, but we are working on it 😈
Do CCW wheels next. I remember these being super popular in the Honda crowd back when I had my FA5
We can do that!
The shit WCI said is actually inexcusable. Doesn't matter the situation, a business cannot say something like that.
Beside that, I would not trust a new wheel brand like that when I can have Work or Rays instead. Plus all of their designs are just ugly.
I really enjoy these videos. I never miss one. Thanks for the great content and information.
Thank you Ryan 🙏🏽 we will keep the content coming 😈
their cast wheels were not directional. all 4 were the same direction.
Also their customer service is crap to say the least. The drama was just an icing on the cake.
I've never heard of wci until this
The meme's in the video are 5/7 placed :D. Keep on the awesome work !
Thanks Andrei!
Never even heard of WCI or TSW 'til you made these videos. Pretty awesome to learn with memes also.
Rinsangan Mimi
Seriously TSW was in a lot of games especially NFS even if you haven't heard about the brands history you'd know that brand cuz of games man.
Bruh came in for the info on the wheels and stayed for the edit cuts and drops🤘🤘🤘🤘
Really appreciate it 😎 - Mario
chis b.. crispy.. crispy video quality
❤️
I remember reading the pm's between the two, it was all over fb and IG. Absolutely disgusted. For a straight year, WCI was all you heard. But then they fell apart in days. Pretty sad because they had some pretty dope wheels. Reputation is everything. Even when we dont care what others think, you always need to watch what you say om social media and real life. Everyone has a phone, and more than 95% have a camera
they are still in business
wooohoo fav series is back :)
Who would of thunk...anyway, intrigued and will probably watch more of these snippets... Anything interesting about Borbet?
hahaha that was funny. "I didnt want to talk about it." i totally get it. I remember watching this thing unfold on VW Vortex.
well my car isn't fast but she does deserve to shine like a show car at least.
Like the show it’s full of great information on rim companies I would like to see some more. I would like to see something on the KMC brand
love your channel, its nice to see some channels located in Wisconsin :) Go WCEC :)
Best episode ever! Been waiting for this one 🤣👍🏻🤘
Was it worth the wait 🤔
Do OZ wheel please. I know you guys don’t sell it but OZ wheels is everywhere from wrc to f1.
We can do that for you!
I legit eat popcorn while watching EDUCATIONAL videos of automotive modification 🔥🔥🍿
Nothing is stopping me from wanting those MT10s 🤤
Fo real
Yay! Haha I was laughing with anticipation about the story. I remember when this blew up on the gram a while ago. I have personally checked out the wci monoblock wheels and I was upset that the set the owner had wasn’t hub centric.
Not even in n the market for wheels but I love these videos
Well when you need wheels we got the hook up 🔌 bit.ly/2Imgo9B
Yo those DS01s from the wheel care clips. 👌🏻🔥
Do a video about 360 forged/adv1 and forgeline. And for non wheel do truth about Hennessey. Lots of content there.
Could you do a segment of “history of...signature wheels”...curious to know if they’re a good wheel since my buddy bought some sv 502 for $4700
If we can gather enough info we definitely can!
Please do Luxury Abstract pleeeeeease!
I need the wheel cleaning kit for my freshly powder coated Enkeis!
oooooooo got any pics? Here’s a link to our Car Care products 😎 bit.ly/2FikL7q
Which wheel company is good for both drift and street applications.... Without having to break the bank...
Ask and you shall receive: www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/DK98514355/konig-dekagram-18x95-35-custom-wheels?suspension=Stock&trimming=No+Modification
Great videos. Should give out some history on Konig and the companies under that name such as Advanti
Thanks man! Both are in the works ❤️
Looking forward to it
Wow didn’t know that they never apologized!! Wci
Do aodhan wheels next
Where are u guys located ? Longbeach ?
Appleton Wisconsin !
Interesting to come across this considering the fact that way before any of this unfolded, at least a third of the VW/Audi communities I was involved in (including forums) had a common hate towards the owner. Things I remember seeing and hearing was that “he’s a little spoiled punk”, was caught putting down Rotiform and other competitors multiple times (creating fake rumors about competitors wheels cracking on speed bumps) and pretty much that he was an entitled little prick. I can’t confirm any of that since I don’t know him but I’d never fork over hard earned money to a company that’s owned by a person who’d say all that.
I live in the town where they started and they’re headquarters are right by my house
I love these vids. It’s so interesting to know the history behind all these wheel companies. Nice work
Thanks Gavin ❤️
I mean they did delete the ig, and there page was down for a little while after the incident happened
Wci sells every colour wheel unless it's black.
thank you for taking the time to these information videos ❤️
That’s what we are here for 😈
That whole racism incident just turned me away from this company tbh.
Wondered what happened with all that nonsense at WCI. Great video as always. Keep it up.
Could always use some cleaning products
Thanks man!
Its a shame beautiful wheels bad customer service so much potential😭
Still goinnng on dayzzzz
What ever happen to art in motion wheels? I had a set of mr2’s and loved them. Always wanted a multi piece wheel from them but never could get ahold of them or even find a website selling a decent set.
Not sure those wheels are cold blooded! 🔥
Lmao I remember the day that came out.😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for finally making a video about white clan industries. I honestly don't know how they are still alive tbh but it is what it is.
No problem 🙌🏽
You guys have some really interesting videos
Stay tuned 🙌🏽
I don't care if I win anything. Just wanna say that I love your channel and I love what you guys are doing. Keep it up and thnx
Thank you so much man ❤️
Fitment Industries you're welcome. I love you bro!
Still waiting for that Varrstoen vid....
It’s in the works 😈
OZ next please
how about Beyern, vmr, Vorsteiner and D-Force wheels please
All in the works!
You guys should do vossen wheels sometime
Definitely on our list to do!
Do varrstoens, planning on getting some from you guys also soon, HYPED
We can do that 😈
This guys life came crashing down. Shame his girlfriend cheated on him, and shame he said those harsh words.
How do they justify 4000 for a set of wheels now 🤔
Konig is next right?! I’ll take the kit if no one else wants it btw
Maybe 🙂
About to order some WCI forged for the Audi! 💎💎💎
Make sure to upload it to our gallery when it's done!
I could really use that kit my 135i gets brake dust all over my enkephalins rpf1
Here ya go 😈

Damn if you stupid enough to do it on a business account then 🤷🏽♂️ gotta keep personal and business separate. but at the end of the day wheels are wheels. BTW the backtrack and editing was 🔥
I'd like to see one of these about Vossen Wheels 🤔🤔
Most superb upcoming wheel channel 🤙🏾
Thanks Benjamin 🙏🏽
omg i've been waiting so long for this one
Did you like it?😈
Great video guys! Always good to get that wheel knowledge up 🤙
Thanks man! We try 😎
Loving the content and your industry's personality. Keep the videos coming
Thanks a lot man 😈 well keep them coming!
Yo gotta love my wci cc10's on my subie
Dude I love these wheel history’s
So now I’ve entered twice?
Okay, so by 4-5 years now...has their name been fully destroyed? Or things just seemed to roll out? What do you think guys? (Im asking because of their wheels are f*kn awesome, and about to buy a used set, but yeah these things just keeping me sceptical...)
so cosmis next ? :)
Maybe...
Fitment Industries why maybe? Listen to Shia. Just do it
Can you do a video on Motegi? I've been looking at their traklight rim just because of the weight and price point.
Stay tuned for Thursday's upload. ;) If you subscribe, you'll see it pop up soon!
Thanks, I'm looking forward to it.
Ooo. Free stuff. You have my attention.
This is a great channel. Keep it up guys
Thanks Bryan 🤘🏽
This company seems bogus. My son placed an order for a set of wheels in June 2019. He worked very hard and paid them off by October. It is now March 2020, and they still haven't sent him anything! Last messages he has sent to a "Chris" have not been replied to.
Any update?
Yes! My son received them about two weeks later.
Would love to try out your kit!
It’s super nice! Check out our products here man www.fitmentindustries.com/store/?cat=Car+Care&order=views+desc&page=1
What is your opinion on Blaque Diamond wheels? I've been eyeballing the BD21s for a while but I can't find any information on what kind of wheel they are (forged, cast, whatever). Any info would be great thanks!
We can decently try and get our hands on a set and make a review!
Products look sick
That would be interesting to try. Haven't seen any other products specifically for painted wheels. Applies to powder coated wheels also?
Of course 🙌🏽
Do one on wagen wheels or other brand like that I just wanna see what you do with it good or bad
If we can find enough info we can definitely do that!
I’m already subscribed but I like the video and I commented. I do enjoy the content!
Thanks bro 😈😈😈
Can you do one about NICHE wheels please!!!!! Awesome videos. BTW!!!
CCW next?
We're working on it now!
I could use that wheel shine for my water cooled wheels 😅🤘🏼
