Default Need Honest Opinions

I purchase a set of AR Rebels in January from zlover129. Being that i was 150 miles away from home and away in college, it is hard for me to come home and only had time to mount the tires on the rims and put them on my car around middle of may. I dont know why this guy is saying it was a year ago cuz that is only a few months in my book. I hope to hear some honest opinions from other members on this forum. It dont matter to me how much someone pays for something, if you are selling something on this site, it should not be defective. Just because he sold me those rims for cheaper then what they retail, does not give him an excuse to sell me damaged goods. I am done venting now, any future buyers, please beaware of zlover129

But hey, i took the wheels straight off of my car put them in a box and sent them there, never knew they were bent when i took them off, not to mention $500 for a set of $1000+ set of wheels is a bargain and $150 to fix one of them, give me a ******* break, i lost my *** on these wheels and now my name is getting tainted because of this horse ****.

StuPidSmartBoy61 (8:37:51 PM): so in all honesty...being serious here, you buy something about a year ago, discover something a year later and you would expect a return??
ChrisW2727 (8:38:20 PM): it says january

Seriously, the kid says hes at school and just mounts them and its bent. Something needs to be done about it. If payment was sent through paypal i would contact them. Think about it sometimes we come across good deals on ls1tech but dont install for months.Well atleast I have. I bought a converter probably 8 months before i installed it. My vote says zlover129 gets -1 on the rating !!! Man up and pay for the rim to be fixed. Its a **** poor excuse to tell him what do u expect you got a bargain anyway. Just reading your thread you state "They are beautiful wheels but all have some curb rash on them, its really not noticeable until you really get up close to the wheels and pick them apart. " ZLOVER the least you can do for us is keep the story straight, first it was a year ago, now its 6 months. but he contacted you previous till june 1st correct ? that would make it 5 not 6. On a side not, I am not a fan of your 2 tone orange/black ta lol

the 2nd post is a guy in the 9 sec club and 25 pos feedbacks. I think thats some1 with a reputation showing that you sold transam981331 a damaged rim. MY honest opinion is your some 18 year old punk who doesnt have the money to pay him back, since your reason for selling was that you couldnt afford new tires. That right there shoulda been a red flag for transam981331

you buy something...find something wrong with it....wait 6 months and then try and resolve it? Wow, you guys really have great business ethics. Pretty sad that a guy and his friend can come back 6 months after the transaction and then try and ruin my name, for all i know they threw the rims around like frisbee's

i agree with ZLover if it was addressed when he first got the wheels he would have a leg to stand on, but not 6 months later, thats like buying a used car and taking it back 6 months later an saying fix my interior its ripped. It wont happen you bought them an waited way past the grace period, max i would say a week after getting them to say something about it being bent not 6 months later

I also agree if it has been 6 months that is to long to wait to try to get a refund on a product especially used. How does he know you didnt hit a curb and say he did it ? Also on those comments he said to you is very sad! Most people who talk like that over the internet are just punks. He must think he is hitler! He should just man up and get the rim fixed and next time he shouldnt wait MONTHS to get a prduct mounted on your car.

i would expect a member with 2 posts to make a comment like that Im pretty sure you can't toss 18x10 rims around like frisbees. The bottom line is transam981331 you got scammed

youd be surpised of the horror stories you read on how packaged are handled by UPS.
