If you want me to, I can take a video of them spinning on the balancer. Maybe you could ask your friends at Ken Towery why these wheels have LARGE (2 oz) balancing weights right in the area of the damage. The two wheels that "look" okay (I have to check them out tonight) have no large wheel weights on them. So just by that, it's safe to say the 2 bad wheels have already been balanced when the damage was there.

Just so you know, I have been in the auto service business for about 6 years now, and seen a lot of things including damaged rims. This is not something to ignore. This is a safety hazard to even attempt to drive on these, especially on a sports car.

Here's what I am requesting: I'm going to make an assumption that these wheels are repairable. IF I were to have these two wheels repaired locally, I'm looking at between $90-120 per wheel to have them straightened PROPERLY back to trueness (cannot be hammered back since the barrel is bent as well. This needs to be straightened on a proper machine). Now I also understand that this just about exceeds what I paid for the wheels ($87.50 per w/ ship). I am an honest person and I'm not looking to make cash off this. Reimburse me for the price I paid for two wheels, and I will cover the remaining costs to have them repaired. Realize that I have to sink more money than I paid for these wheels, in order to use them. Please get back to me.

I had no idea there was a problem and i apologize but it is no longer mine, i am not going to pay you to get the wheels done, i would rather have them back before i did that, but the sale is done. I would sale the wheels if you are unhappy about them.

Was there any shipping insurance on the packages? Maybe you could make a claim if these rims were not bent before. I'm not asking you to pay for the repair, which is worth the same as the rims (if not more). I stated I would pay the difference. Unless I dupe someone else into buying bent rims, they're not going to sell. This has nothing to do with wanting perfect rims. I don't need to buy new rims to get something useable. I don't want to have to take this public and file a claim with Paypal and/or my credit card, that's why I am discussing this with you thru PM and we can try to come to an agreement. If you wanted to work something out, say we deduct half your shipping costs and half the paypal fees, because I understand that's not something not always refunded, that's MORE than fair. For the record, what I paid for the wheels are average price to a little bit above, for straight wheels in good condition. Here are some pictures for your consideration:

The only good news in this so far, is the other 2 rims check out fine.

I am not trying to be a jerk but you either need to get them fixed, call usps yourself, or sell them, i didn't have any insurence on them. so i can't claim anything.

I'll be try to be fair though, i will give you $75 to get the wheels fixed, that will make the shipping free, since you already have the product, i can't have it fixed my self.
