03 — What's not covered
What's NOT covered
- Curb rash, scratches, scuffs, or any cosmetic damage from contact with curbs, road debris, tools, or any other object after delivery.
- Installation damage — chipped finish from improperly fitted balancing weights, mounting machine damage, lug-seat damage from over-torque, scratches from improper handling at install.
- Impact damage — bent, cracked, or deformed wheels from potholes, debris, accidents, or off-road use beyond the wheel's rated application.
- Track, racing, autocross, drift, rally, off-road, or other competitive use unless the specific wheel was sold for that application.
- Improper fitment — wheels installed on a vehicle different from the one specified at order, wheels installed with incorrect spacers, hub-centric rings, or lug hardware.
- Chemical or environmental damage — acid wheel cleaners, salt corrosion beyond normal exposure, brake-fluid attack on finish, road-tar staining left untreated.
- Modification — wheels that have been re-machined, re-finished, re-drilled, welded, or otherwise altered after delivery.
- Wheels with removed, defaced, or altered serial numbers / engravings.
- Subsequent owners — warranty applies to the original purchaser only and is not transferable.
- Vehicle damage, downtime, install/uninstall labor, balancing, alignment, towing, or any consequential or incidental cost. Warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the wheel itself.
04 — File a claim
How to file a warranty claim
- Email [email protected] with: order number, VIN of the vehicle, photos of the defect (clear, well-lit, multiple angles), description of when and how the issue appeared, mileage on the wheels (approximate).
- We respond within 3 business days with a claim number and next steps.
- For structural claims, we may request the wheel be returned for inspection (we cover return freight on confirmed structural claims).
- If the claim is approved, we repair or replace the wheel at our sole discretion, with the same finish and specifications as the original.
- Replacement wheels carry the remainder of the original warranty term, not a fresh one.
05 — Structural claim handling
Structural claim — special handling
A structural defect is a safety matter. If a wheel cracks, fails, or shows porosity:
- Stop driving on it immediately.
- Photograph the defect in place before removal where safe.
- Contact us within 48 hours of discovery.
- We may, at our discretion, request the wheel for forensic inspection.
If a structural defect pattern emerges across multiple sets from the same production batch, we will conduct a voluntary recall of the affected serial range and report to NHTSA as required under the TREAD Act.
06 — Limitation of liability
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LT Forged's liability under this warranty is limited to the repair or replacement of the defective wheel. LT Forged is not liable for incidental or consequential damages including but not limited to vehicle damage, loss of use, towing, install/uninstall labor, lodging, or lost wages.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.
07 — Compliance
Compliance
This written warranty is provided pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. § 2301 et seq.) and is designated a Limited Warranty.
