Car is turning out nice cow. Sucks about the rims though. +2 on asking the seller/mounter first.

The seller is a friend of mine, so I'm not worried about his screwing me or anything. As soon as I got them, I texted him & we've been working out the details of a claim this afternoon. If Fedex doesn't honor my claim, he wants to refund me, something I absolutely won't let him do. It isn't his fault at all.

He sent pics to me of the wheels when they were taken home from the shop after being mounted & they were perfect.

Thanks for the input, guys. I've never had an issue with Fedex, so here's to hoping it'll go smoothly.

& thanks for the compliment Tony.

I finally took my car for a test ride today. I had to go down my curb completely sideways. As soon as I picked up speed to about 17mph, I would hear some rubbing. I was surprised to find out that it was only my front driverside tire that was rubbing when I hit bumps. I tried pulling the front fenders a little and that didnt help. Its actually hitting the spot where my front bumper mounts to the fender.

I look at the passenger side to compare and I notice that my TOE is out a lot more on the driverside. Got an appointment with chris friday.

I hope they compensate you for their stupidity. In my experience, as long as you file a report before a certain amount of time you should be golden.

Can you see much from those side mirrors? I've always wanted to know.
