Buyer Beware Grease Monkey/ David Kline
Member Name: Grease Monkey, real name David Kline from the Chesapeake VA area.

I posted a similar thread in the Mid Atlantic forum looking for some help from people in his local area.
I purchased these wheels:
https://www.s2ki.com/...1#entry23167091
From him on May 19th, and too date I only have the fronts with the wrong size tires. He explained he had some difficulties due to traveling for work in getting everything squared away and asked that I wait for him to get home to take care of things himself. He had been unresponsive at best through the process but seemed to be trying to do the right thing so I agreed. As of June 16th he said the wheels were being shipped the next day. I received notification that UPS slips had been created, but nothing ever shipped. on June 23rd he said the tires had come in and they would be shipped that afternoon, again no shipping info or anything. On June 30th after multiple emails from me he said the wheels would be at my home on Thursday and he would get me shipping info later that afternoon.
Well guess what, nothing ever showed up and I never received any shipping info. I have emailed and messaged him several times now with no response. At this point because I was maybe a bit to trusting I can no longer file a case through paypal, conveniently he said I would receive the wheels on the 44th day, and the 45th was a holiday..perfectly timed. So I'm stuck with two front wheels that need tires, wrong size and one has a nail in it, and no rears..oh and I'm out $2700 which makes it all even better.
I have multiple emails and messages detailing the agreement we had, and I hate airing this out, but really either need to get the rear wheels shipped or get my money back. It's going to be a tough talk with my wife explaining how I was scammed and now need to buy two new wheels and four tires to have a full set. It would have cost me lees to just get brand new wheels through CCW, and I would have them on my car now.
I would avoid doing any business with him.

The link to the wheels you purchased isn't working for me.

Update. It appears that there was an issue with UPS and a damaged box...hopefully the wheels are ok. David is working to get it squared away with them and is going to update me soon.
