Was this the first time you've ever bought something, in your life? You buy replicas then whine because the are poor quality then pick another no name set and even notice they are poorly made and still continue to get them. No sympathy from me, you need to bring a friend/relative/bum off the street next time you decide to buy anything, this includes grocery shopping, we don't need another thread about how you bought some bananas and now you're pissed because you thought all the black spots on them made you think they were some limited edition but now they're all mushy and now you want oranges instead.

You know... he really can't give you the wheels without a legit receipt. If he doesn't have a paper trail and you go to court he's good and ****ed. Make sure he's aware of that.

Another reason not to buy cheap wheels.

op sounds like a whiny ****.

You want good quality wheels.....then pay up. Stop expecting your money to be worth more than everyone else's.

That shop owner has already worked with you a lot in the deal and now you want more? He has bent over backwards and now you are asking him to stick his head up his *** just for you.

There are so many good sets of wheels fs on here, why go to a "rim shop" for so real no name junk.

I dont think you can say you were "scammed", YOU bought crap rims..... TWICE. knowing what hey were. If the business owner lets you exchange the rims for the first set of knock-offs, and wants to charge you the installation, be happy and do it.

A "whopping $880" with the extras will get you what you got.
Any pics of these beauties?

but you forget that the op's money is actually worth more than face value. The shop owner actually owes him more service and parts. Just because the buyer cannot make up his mind it is not his fault, definitely the seller

Poor people can't afford to be cheap... Your first mistake was thinking you'd get quality wheels for 800 bucks. Do yourself and your Z a favor and put your stock wheels back on and save for some for wheels that will not put your life in jeopardy.

$880 after taxes?? must be some really garbage wheels.

your best bet is to just get your money back and put the stocks back on...otherwise you can make a table out of your wheels if you are stuck with them, and don't let me see them on kijiji...
