i paid 400 bucks for them and i did not want custom wheels... aftermarket wheels are an opinion... and they is not mine. I felt that a 28,000 mile car should be kept stock.

I think that would be what I would do. You can have them powder coated and they will better than new.

Right

I agree that I would send them to be refinished, but I would still be mad as hell for not receiving as advertised "mint" condition wheels. He has every right to complain AND fully advertise the lowlife scumbag that ripped him off.

Just my opinion. To many of the thieves appear to have a safe haven here and some support.

Just my opinion.

I'm sorry you aren't happy, but it's part of an ebay seller's job to 'talk up' their product in an attempt to sell it. Now, it IS possible that maybe he didn't know a rim was bent. I certainly don't see a bent rim in the pictures.... which one is it? As for the centercaps, they all look fine too. Post some pics, because they look great in those really really small low res pictures in the auction, which is part of the problem.

I am one of the ripped off people and I think anyone that tries to explain his Innocence is probably him! meaning the famous eddknott!!

You have no idea how many people this thing has ripped off!

In my opinion, it's better to get rims only and order new tires.. the SVX is not meant to have different tires or 2 new/2 used tires anyways..

Ebaybrad, if you are unhappy, go ahead and dispute it, but your other option is accept it and go get the rims refinished and put new tires on it.
I am in the process as soon as I accumulate enough money. I bought rims from a guy on Ebay 1 year ago and they were described as flawless....well I got them and one was bent and the others had curb rash on them. Right now they are sitting in my garage waiting for me to take them to a reconditioning shop.

Good luck

i am past being annoyed at knothead. I have a wheel guy comming friday to true them and completely refinish them. He obviously is desperate for money...so I hope the $400 bucks went a long way. Sooner or later someone will stomp him. I got better things to do (lucky for him).

I might just bid on a low dollar item of his just to get feedback listed on him...

hmm.. so much for being over it

Well, I would suggest then that everyone keep an eye out for when Mr. edknot slips up (and you know he will). Until then, if you want to buy SVX parts on ebay, you need to go over every picture with a magnifying glass.

And he's your friend, or at least is has been according to your other posts...

Better yet is that nobody should get anything from him or his associates whether mail order or pick up. Why give your money to someone that you know has ripped off other board members.
