After three weeks, I finally recieved my wheels. BE CAREFULL BUYING USED WHEELS ONLINE! This was an expensive mistake, I had to learn the hard way. The wheels were described as having no curb marks. I wont name the seller, here, because its not the place. But maybe this will help others.

chmercer · 04-20-2007, 10:39 AM

dont be a faggot. that lip damage is like nothing. grant is a pimp

yokotas13 · 04-20-2007, 10:42 AM

thank you Charlie

all i have to say is that this guy is a one of those buyers that will never be happy

he got some wheels for 4-500 less than going rate, nad hes bitching about something an hour of work will remove.

kensreliableb18b · 04-20-2007, 10:43 AM

like sam always says (or in this case, copies and pastes every single time he puts up wheels on his site)

"Disclaimer: If you are the picky type DO NOT buy used wheels(save up and buy new ones), there will be some damage due to the age of these wheels. "

you're a fucking idiot... the wheels are used, if you want a new set of wheels go pay $4200 + shipping and wait over 3 months to get them...

NA4NOW · 04-20-2007, 10:58 AM

So no one thinks this damage should have been disclosed to me???? The seller said there was NO CURB MARKS! Should I have not believed him?

yokotas13 · 04-20-2007, 10:59 AM

i think you shoudl unlock my paypal account, i sent you the 40 dollars.

Nachtmensch · 04-20-2007, 11:00 AM

i agree with them. used wheels are just that. used.

bring them to a wheel shop. it wont cost that much if you want it repaired.

CrazyIvan · 04-20-2007, 11:00 AM

whats with the picture of the back of the wheel?

**mrmephistopheles** · 04-20-2007, 11:01 AM

Are you serious?
You're expecting *USED* wheels to have no damage or signs of use?
If that's the case than you should have been charged more than you were.

What's this mentality of thinking that you get more than what you pay for and if you don't get it you throw a bitch fit and whine to everyone?
I'm seeing it ALL over lately.

Are you guys serious? None of you expect what you buy, to be as decribed?

He said there was NO CURB MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you not understand that?

Fair enough - I don't see any in the pics he posted.

...and if there are some there, then why'd you still go through with the purchase (and why are you complaining about it now)?

No curbing...no huge grinding over the face of the lip. In THIS pic I can even see a little bit of a flaw.

I think he was up front with you about it.

haha, yea the lip fairy is using her forces to protect the lip from road conditions, mounting and dismounting a couple of sets of tires. you expected NO curb marks whats so ever? is this your first set of wheels? THERE ARE GOING TO BE SCRATCHES REGARDLESS. maybe you misinterpreted the note; NO "MAJOR" CURB MARKS OR SCRATCHES.

if you dont like them, sell them off.

NA4NOW · 04-20-2007, 11:18 AM

Yes I expected no curb marks, because thats what he said!!!!!!!!

Heres the other curbage:

A If he would have just been honest, and told me about the damage, I would have simply not bought them. I dont understand how any of you dont think this is a big deal. If I were selling a set of wheels, I would say THEY HAVE SOME CURBING.

NA4NOW · 04-20-2007, 11:20 AM

It didnt say "no major curbing", it said

Quote:

there no curb marks, etc etc etc
on one wheel the face near where the face bolts to the lip has that funky spidering type look to it, ill get pics of that later but i dont think ive ever seen a set of ssrs, works, mae, or the like without it somewhere on the wheel.

Wow. un freakin' believable.
You're complaining about scratches that nobody will ever see.
I'd love to see the maneuver that would generate those sort of scratches from a CURB. You'd have to pull all the way up to a curb with the car straight, but the wheels turned all the way in one direction, and then have mega stretched tires, then straighten out the wheel. That MIGHT do it.

That looks like someone dropped them.

yokotas13 · 04-20-2007, 11:01 AM

he is showing where it rashed against my coilovers, which i stated was the reason i was selling them in my thread lol

ohhh I see... thats the back of the wheels, so who cares really...

**S13SilviaGirl** · 04-20-2007, 11:02 AM

That is NOT a lot to be bitching about. THEY ARE USED WHEELS! For Christ's sake. You can NOT expect them to be perfect (and that appears to be on the TOP of the lip not the side). I know Grant, and I know he is OVERLY up front about damage to parts he is selling. I have no doubt in my mind that he had told you about the damage and probably sent you pics too.

As said earlier...if you are picky DO NOT BUY USED WHEELS! There are reasons that they are used....it means they were on a car and are not out of the box perfect.

yokotas13 · 04-20-2007, 11:04 AM

Oh BTW
all 5 of hte pictures i sent him are here
http://flickr.com/photos/yokotas13/s...7600029199517/

there are high res of each that he could have looked at
the pictures were taken on teh 27, he said he was going to buy them, so i removed them from the car same day, and he paid the 28th.

CrazyIvan · 04-20-2007, 11:08 AM

Me thinks someone needs to be put on teh corner for some time...

**S13SilviaGirl** · 04-20-2007, 11:16 AM

^^^hahaha Lip Fairy!

yokotas13 · 04-20-2007, 11:21 AM

regardless, you have 12 hours my friend

**S13SilviaGirl** · 04-20-2007, 11:22 AM

Other? That looks like the same wheel as in the second picture you posted.

NA4NOW · 04-20-2007, 11:24 AM

Nope. Look again.

NA4NOW · 04-20-2007, 11:26 AM

I didnt expect the wheels to be perfect. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only ecpected them to be AS DESCRIBED!!!!!!!!!! Wht cant you people understand that.

Post up all of your PM correspondence with Grant then. I want to see what you post up and what I know.

kodama · 04-20-2007, 11:32 AM

wow, this is funny ^_^ used are used man, they aren't gonna be perfect, as long as you dont see the damage on the outside, i dont see the harm.

Irukandji · 04-20-2007, 12:16 PM

I found a quarter on the ground today... but it was scratched so I threw it away.
