Default Superleggeras problems...again !

I have this on the wheels and tires board but really need a speedy answer so I thought I would call on the experience from the UK guys.

I ordered a set of superleggeras last week, I was told on the phone they would be 225 front and 255 rears. After scanning this board I decided to reduce the rear size to 245 so I had less risk of rubing on the rear.

When I called the company they told me I only had 235 on order for the rear as this is what OZ recomend on the 18x9 rear wheel. Dont know where they got this from, I certainly didnt suggest it and was told 255 on the phone (they claim this is what they always fit to S2000's).

Cancel the order - then see how 'helpful' they become (sounds to me like they've got stock they are struggling to shift...)

They are ing you. You will need at least 245 on the rear.

I would get them to provide the 255s that were agreed on the phone ..... you can always change to 245s when you wear these out after 5k miles or so.

If you paid by credit card you can always talk to the card company and get them to cancel the charge to your card.

If its only a verbal agreement, then tell 'em to shove it.
