why doesn't this guy just come to the thread and post his story? right now we only have your story, and by default it's looking like this guy is just trying to pull a scam. especially w/no counterstory.

His sn is, "blks2k06".

I texted message him to let him know about this thread. I also PM'ed him to take a look at it as well. He responded to my text earlier today but has yet to reply to my PM. I guess he is just busy??

Here are a few pics of the wheels right before I shipped them out. These were the pictures I sent to him to give him a better idea of what condition the wheels were in.



Here is the pic of the repair. You have to look behind the lip to actually see any repair. This is because the shop polished the fronts out almost perfectly.

more shots of the tires. front/rear I don't see any strange wear marks. but I'm no tire expert...

All of the lips are perfect. You can tell since the all reflect light evenly.

the only recourse that ensures your reputation at this point is to get the wheels back and refund his money...its sucks and may not be legit but to keep your rep up and to make the problem go away completely you have to refund (after you get product back).

Its a bigger scale for sure but this type of stuff happens from time on ebay when I sell there. its not worth the negativity that can come about concerning this deal..its already too public IMHO

have him ship the product back for a refund. if he is legit, he will be more than happy to do so...if he balks at the idea, you know something is fishy and then you can break it off completely...

It's obvious what the problem is here.

There is nothing wrong with the wheels you shipped.

The buyer just wants to further distract you by claiming damage to the wheels he bought, so he doesn’t need to ship the wheels he owes you. It's as simple as that.

You need to call him on this, and turn the blame onto him. Having provided zero proof of damage, he has nothing. The shipment would have had to have been destroyed for wheels with mounted tires to become bent.

Stop playing pushover, and demand what is owed to you, and go after this idiot.
