There was a guy who ran a business in New York or New Jersey who had used sets of wheels (carlsson lorinser amg etc) and he had a webpage does anyone know what i am talking about and know his webpage? i think it was wheel deals or something like that

 

Yeah, Al from Bestdealsonwheels but there was some bad stuff about him. I don't know him personally but I sent an email about a lip kit and he never got back to me.......Smells like small time. Check it out from one of the guys on bnzworld:



Well to make a long story short, Al sold me bent wheels. He stated that they weren't bent with only a minor curb rash on one wheel. I was ok with that and I did see pics, sent emails and had some convo's over the phone so I went ahead and purchased the wheel. As I receive them 2 rims come in bent (not caused by shipping company cause tires were mounted and had some air in it) well I told him, took pics and etc..

He agrees to pay for repairs, 2 months go by and nothing. He doesn't answer my calls or return my email. I had to leave him a negative feedback just for a response and his response was "he bought used wheels that's not my fault, he should of just bought new wheels". Obviously he just told me that he knew they were bent, idiot. Well I would of done that if I knew they were bent but he told me personally that they weren't bent in any kind of way.

I have emails, photo's receipts to prove the wheels were bent when I got them and I did not use the wheels so it wasn't caused by me since I received each wheel every other week. I am not the only person he has done this to, if you search him on this forum and M b w o r l d.org he has done a lot of guys dirty and not just only me so don't think I'm just a complaining customer also check his ebay user ID.

I only say avoid him just so you don't have to go through what I and other's have it's a pain in the *** just because some idiot want's to make a couple hundred bucks off someone by ripping them off. If you want to purchase wheels from him, go look at them in person and make sure it's in good condition. A lot of guys who are vouching for him are all local well I don't blame them because I know Al is not a man to screw someone over in person cause he would get his *** beat as he would only do it on the internet to someone way across the country. I wish I was local and he did this to me, this would have been solved a long time ago

 

yeah that is the guy / webpage i was thinking of . thanks!

 

Al's the man i got so much stuff from him over the years. I always go to his house and its like i gotta check monthly cuz he gets so many odd things. I get tires from him i got the exhaust for my clk, c43 cluster rims etc. He gets some cool stuff that sometimes your hard pressed to find on ebay. Not sure how it is dealing with him in shipping tho cuz i always do my transactions in person.

 

I've read a few post on this guy too..and it sounds like those pple who are local who can see what they buy dont have much problems, but the ebay pple and internet pple got screwed a few times...with no resolution

 

Actually, before I relocated from Miami to So Cal a few months ago, I gave him a call inquiring about some rims he had on Ebay. He told me that if I were to go directly to his shop to purchase the rims that the pricing would be "different". So I asked by different did he mean more expensive and he said yes. Needless to say I never contacted him again. I would never do business with anyone with that type of policy, somethings gotta be fishy!

 

definitely ....just save ur self the headache and stay clear....buy locally for piece of mind and ease of transaction if possible, esp if you live in a place like LA
