Look, I have a spare pair of rims, used, I paid $250 for 2 of them. They were not perfect, had small scratches, some small blemishes here and there. I use them for drag wheels. You are complaining about 4 wheels shipped to your door for $380, at least $50 is shipping cost alone. I cannot see any justifcation for your disatisfaction for a set of belmished wheels, I don't care what rating they were, they were still advertised as blemished. If you wanted a semi show quality wheel and thought you were going to get lucky with some light problems, then your not very smart. Those wheels are not that bad, and of all the dumbest things, you wanted chrome. Why the hell would you pay for chrome if they were just a spare pair? It's obviuose to me that you wanted them more for appearance than a spare pair of wheels. I do not support SLP all the way, but they do sell some good products, and they offer spare parts very cheap. The bottom line is they are used spare parts. Example I got the take off shocks and struts, I am not up here bitching up a storm because I paid $67 shipped for these things and one of them didn't come with the spring perch. Common sense prevails, I will use the old one, the struts alone would have cost me in the $250 area.

If you wanted some winter wheels, why didn't you just buy their 16" take off wheels for $50 each. Those are in good condition, and would have been cheaper. I think you were just asking for disappointment when you ordered blemished chrome wheels, especially at 75% off retail. Structurally, the wheel is probably sound. Thats about all you can expect for that price. The finish, regardless of a rating, on a blemished chrome wheel? I'd have expected the worst.

Personally, I'd have the wheels de-chromed or sand blasted and just paint them silver or powdercoat them silver. If these are "winter wheels", why would you even consider having them rechromed?

Take a look at the last photo. It is a B1 worst case scenario. That picture came from SLP as an example of the worst quality wheel. Are you saying that it doesnt matter that they lie about what they are selling? Its so cheap I should expect to get ripped off? Would you sell those wheels to someone without telling them that they look like they sat on the bottom of the ocean? Do you want to buy them off me? I didn't think so. Do you understand now? The main reason on why I posted this is so you guys dont make the same mistake. How many of you guys that support SLP want to buy these off me? I didn't think so.

Man, I wish you had ordered them and paid the B2 price. I called to get 2 sets of wheels from SLP the other day and they are out of stock and will never get more. If they were the $200 set, I'd have been interested. I am looking for beater wheels and I could care less if they ever got chromed, painted or anything else, just as long as they are round. If you ever saw my wheels, you'd understand. I use brake pads that "destroy" wheel finishes and I don't even try to clean them anymore (that is why I'm looking for "cheap" wheels). I wanted a set of the B2 chrome for race rubber and a set of the painted to get powdercoated black. So, if you decide that you'd be interested in selling them off for somewhere around $260 shipped (at a future date), drop me a line. trackbirdengineering@columbus.rr.com. (I'm not trying to discount the fact that those are worse than the example, I just didn't want to spend much for track wheels, that's why I wish you had paid the B2 price so you'd get most of your money back.)

I guess somebody has now offered to buy them from you.....

Let me know if anything changes....
