Im pretty sure you can't toss 18x10 rims around like frisbees. The bottom line is transam981331 you got scammed
Need Honest Opinions
If it was a scam then why the hell would i loose money trying to sell the wheels, i mean honestly i lost over $150 between getting them dismounted for you as well as the shipping costs, if i was "scamming" you then i really suck at it, you saved more money between those 2 things then it will cost to repair the wheel....but aside from that fact again it has been 6 months they literally came off my car dismounted and into the boxes, if i was trying to hide something why dismount the tires for you?? But simple fact if indeed one was bent then i would have been a bit more willing to work with you if you told me immediately, but not 6 months later. I do thank those who have a decent judgement on this instead of rushing to call me a scam artist as well as "jew" "hick" "hillbilly" "punk" and so on, and lol at the guy calling out the guy with 2 posts being that you have how many? Post count is a very very poor measurement of knowledge.

Yea, that is a long time. But at the same time I can also see it from the students side. If he bought the wheels & they sit in the shipping boxes till he arrived back home & only then he found the problem, you cannot fault him for that. He was away at school.
And yea, it sucks you lost that much money selling them that cheap, but it was your choice to sell at that price & you knew what you were doin when you did it, so that part doesn't have any relevancy here.
Honestly the seller should help the buyer & get it straight. I could totally understand if the kid had been using the wheels for 6 months & then decided to make up a excuse to try & get his money back, but this doesn't even sound close to that kind of situation.
The only thing I can think of here is that either A) wheel was already bent & known to be bent prior to sell, B) wheel was bent during shipping, but to bend a wheel the box is gonna be trashed, or C) shop that dismounted the the tires bent the wheel on the machine & never mentioned it to save their ***.

Dude its your own fault that you can't dismount the tires yourself and have to pay someone 150$ to do it. Quit making excuses how you lost so much money selling these rims. It was YOUR CHOICE to sell them at that price. Which should have nothing to do with giving him damaged goods so quit saying it. If he had no way of seeing the rims you can't claim that it should have been brought to your attention earlier. I've been a member for 4 years thank you very much. Quit saying its been 6 months because he contacted you in early may about this .
there were not damaged during shiping there is no rash or anythign there where damaged befor hand i can show u guys video on the balancer how bad they are. just split the price of a new rims and im shure he whould agree. meet the guy in the middle. no one told u to sell them that cheap. He could call his credit card company and file a claim and then you whould be royal screwed

Verdad Gallardo So even though the wheels never got used b/c he was away from home & couldn't even get them mounted up, you refuse to work with him at all even though the rims didn't arrive as described in your sale thread?? That doesn't speak too highly of the business you do.
Like stated the time frame does really suck, but if he never even touched the rims, you should try to help him at least. Thats just doin good business plain & simple. Just b/c your a college kid too doesn't mean you shouldn't have to help him. Maybe you live closer to home or make more frequent trips home than him.
Bottom line is your product didn't arrive as described & whatever you guys need to do to make it right is what needs to be done. I am looking at it from both sides. I understand how it sucks since it wasn't reported till 5 months later, but I also understand not being around home to inspect the product as soon as it arrives. Weather he checked it immediaetly or 2 months later when he got a break from school, the fact still remains that the product was not delivered in useable condition or condition described in the sale thread.
It doesn't sound like the kid is tryin to screw you, just wants to be able to use the wheels he paid for.

how do any of you know that the kid didnt put the wheels on? yer goin off his word and his friends word. What if he had them on his car hit a curb pulled them off an is now claiming they were bent?
You guys dont know if he really was at college or not jus like we dont know if they were damaged before shipping, all i know is 6 months later is a NO GO on any kind of refund or return you cant do that in the real world with a store so why should you be able to do it here?

ah the youth of america, callin people names cause they dont get what they want its cute really but the fact still remains he could have damaged the wheel him self it could have been damaged in shipping.
If he would of been SMART and had his mommy and daddy open them up and LOOK at them when they came in then he wouldnt be in this situation he is in.
You cant buy a set of headers from a store and "not touch them" then take them back 6 months later for a refund or a return it wont happen.

they sat in my garage for the time sense they where shiped to my house because he dose not have a credit card. i open the boxes and took a quick look but i did not roll them around on the floor to make shure there where all perfect. the one is bent pretty good. u have 5 posts and u really dont have any business posting about this. if i wana be a dick i can call my credit card company and he whould be royal screwed but im shure he will do the right thing as split the rim cost with him to make it right. I sold a set of arp studs awhile back and the box got riped during shipment and a few where lost i sold the studs for 150$ the studs that where lost end up costing me like 80$ but i made it right and paid him for it as u can see i have perfect feedback on here

why dont you pay for it since yer such a nice guy and was not even smart enough to roll them on the ground to make sure they werent bent
Are we sure they were not damaged in shipping. If a wheel was dropped from about waist high and hit a hard surface on the lip, I could see it bending the wheel. Am I the only one that feels this way?

After reading all these posts it makes me sick. The boxes were not damaged so how could the rim get bent through shipping. That is unbelievable some of you would say that. I am not trying to frame anyone. And for whoever said **** about mommy and daddy, , sorry my parents dont do everything for me prolly like your parents do. This whole bullshit is really pissing me off. If someone sells you a bent rim what do you do, just say oh well the seller and say it is ok? No you dont, so who ever is agaainst me on this situation is . Enough said I am done. Zlover your a and i wish you all the bad luck in the world for selling me bad rims. I hope your motor blows up. PEACE OUT

Wow very very mature, here let me buy something from any company anywhere in the world, accept shipment of it, wait 6 months without any proof of you mounting them or dismounting them. Now let me wait that time and then say that there is a problem with it, sorry no help man. I too have a perfect feedback, one of them had an issue with what i sold him, it was a 4.10 rear end which needed a rebuilt differential, i didnt know this at the time but he told me like a week later...what did i do? Paid for the rebuild, so yea, you're out of your mind that you think you can come back 6 months later and ask for any kind of reimbursment, i've never been known as a dick anywhere on this forum and have had many good dealings with many people and then you come in here trying to ruin my name because you waited 6 freaking months to get back to me on this.
O...and haven't you notice that your feedback for this whole situation has been deleted from mine...yea seems like the moderators realize that leaving feedback 6months later is a bit preposterous as well, o well what do we know. Aside from the fact i've been nothing but nice to you and all you and your friend has done is cuss me out, call me names, and wish harm upon me then its understandable why i wont do anything to help you. Have a nice day and i wish you the best in your future endeavors
