Might have an Issue with a Buyer.. I sold a set of wheels a few months ago. They buyer just now tells me they are bent. He is wanting money back or some money to repair the wheels. I NEVER had an issue with the wheels be bent. I always took it to name brand shops ( BIG O Tire) and ALWAYS ask if they balanced out fine. NEVER any vibrations from the car when driving at any speeds. I think it happend in shipping, obvisouly non of you know me personally but Im a really honest guy and try to do my best to just stay good with people.
I dont run cheap tires on my cars, nor when I had these wheels. I always took it to the same shop, and they did their jobs. NEVER did they say they were bent or wouldnt balance. He said he can get a letter from his Discount Tire just for proof..idk Im at a loss..
I dont feel after 2 months that there is now a problem and I need to pay for the wheels to be fixed. If this was me, I would stay on top of the guy, but he waits days inbetween emails (PMs) I just want to do whats right, but I dont feel that its right that I pay for a problem after this time. I ALWAYS check whatever it is that I buy right away even if it is BRAND NEW..
Heres the thread deal!

I think those are nice rims for $650. Im sure a good chunk of that went to shipping. Is he saying they were warped or a lip is bent? No way a wheel was warped or bent during shipping, at least I hope not. Maybe nicked... Sounds like he is trying to scam. I wouldn't give him ****...
2 months later................. Sounds like someone needs dough. I wouldn't give him anything. Didn't he inspect the wheels when they arrived? Now you aren't even able to claim shipping damage, if that was even the case. That said, to say he got a great deal on some rare wheels is an understatement. Let him repair them on his own. After repairs he would likely be able to sell them for more than invested anyway. 2 months is just too long, period.

He also gave me a Postive feedback also!! I dont see how they could have got bent in shipping but he says they wont balance out..A good balancer and someone that knows what the hell they are doing could make them Driveable IF they were bent..

I am locking this because, LS1 Tech does not assume any legal liability when it comes to transactions involving private parties on this site. This has been our policy for a very long time, it's a matter of buyer beware.
Having said that, it looks like this transaction was completed and I don't see you mentioning any dispute over I-trader feedback so I don't think there is anything we can do for either party here.
If a buyer feels he/she was wronged, he/she will have to pursue legal action on his/her own....nobody on staff here will get involved. As for the OP, if you completed your end of the deal as agreed and provided the buyer with the items promised in the condition promised within a reasonable timeframe, then you have no further obligation to do anything.
