Giccy Gic - Jordan's reponse to all of this, quoted below, should be your foreword. Every time I read it, I am shocked. I'll highlight my favorite parts:

No, we're trying to make an informed purchasing decision with honest information. That's what customers do.

So, what's the legitimate reason? MORR posted theirs. You can get one off the internet. This is part of an informed decision. If you want customers, and more importantly if you want to keep the ones you have, you'll inform them.

Ironic. Isn't legitimacy on the internet exactly why you're on this forum, and what you're fighting for in this thread? I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing most of your business came from the internet and forums like this one. And, if you want to prove safety to customers, then you should provide the necessary information. At this point, no one is going to take your word that your product is safe, just because you said so...

Again, not taking your word. I have a lot more faith in a company that provides full disclosure, such as MORR. And, as has been established, other vendors on this forum are willing to share their information, because they know tweakers like us want to know.

How are we supposed to know what styles? Should we call and ask about each rim in each size until we get a yes or no? Makes it hard to shop. It's also not consistent with what Matt originally stated, a statement which I don't believe they have yet tried to correct?

A nice offer, but not at all feasible. I live nowhere near either of these shops, nor should I need to go well out of my way, at my expense, to conduct fact-finding that is otherwise available from other dealers over the internet.
Here is Jordan's response in full from earlier in the thread for everyone's reference:

We have official TUV certification on some styles / applications as the process is very specific to the exact application. Not all styles are TUV approved, only some and only for some vehicles. All of our wheels are independently tested in the US for load rating, lateral forces, and a barrage of other necessary criteria's required for safe use on public roads.
