I find it funny how you stated these rims were fine,

Once the guy at the wheel shop removed the spacer on the rear wheel, he was in shock how uneven the hub portion of the wheel would fit on the car and told me this rim is worthless..


Also there are bulges in the other tire



Oh, and i did infact recive the other tire and bolts.... 30 random size rusted bolts, and a used perelli tire that was in ok condition... cost me another 100$ in duty when it came, i should have not accepted it....



Where are ya? ohh your busy.. haha thats not going to work David

Not to instigate the situation, but I cannot believe this is still unresolved.

1. Why won't he talk to you? I can understand you both are frustrated, but work it out to what both agree to.

2. From the pics, the rims do look bent on his pictures and yours.

IDK, it seems this should be simple to work out.

Wow, that's some shady stuff, bro. Good luck with everything. Even if he's extremely busy, it doesn't mean that he can't simply return a phone call or an e-mail.

I would say if you have time to waste like me then fly or ride a train out there and bring the wheels too.
