You spec'd a specific offset and they didn't deliver what you ordered. How can any supplier/distributor not see that as a problem? How'd you pay for the purchase? If you used a credit card, and if less than 60 days have passed, I think you may have some relief. I've run 4 different sets of wheels on my car, and as far as I'm concerned, the "perfect combo" for me is the one I have now. I'm running 19X9.5 +21 up front and 19X10.5 +24 in the back. I wanted to run as big a tire as I could without rubbing. the car has been lowered on Tein adjustables, and it needs a big tread-patch to hook-up. Fenders have already been rolled, so there's not much room for more.....

With the new meaty 305/30/19 rears for traction, as LS will finally be installed in few months.
(Fronts look a little sunk in right now w/o the 5mm spacer, as I'm going up to a 255/35 but not until I use up these tires a little more)

Wow red. Your setup looks great! Are they same lip size front and back? If I can IDE like to get a higher offset up front like that. I agree about having to use spacers would be stupid. Especially on expensive rims. Unfortunately I paid cash. I'm thinking small claims may be a good idea. I want to be fully happy with whatever I buy and these I am not. If they sent a 9.5+ 20 something to match the 10.5 +28 then it would be a little better. It's winter here now so I havnt tried to go back in awhile. Z has been put away for months. Me waiting so long to deal with this May play against me. I'm going back this weekend to see what's up. Summers comming quick.

Oh and also summer here is really short. 3 months out of the year I get to drive the Z. If I do go to court and get money back. I'll order new rims then wait another 6 months. I won't get to roll on rims this summer. Then I have the principle thing eating at me. They played me like a punk and that pisses me off big time. Feel like I got raped. I'm on the net now looking to see if any vendor. Anywhere in the world has GTS in better offsets. If I can find some I'll buy them then head to court no problem.

Scott,

I think you're better off just returning them. $5500 is craaaaaazy to spend on Volk GTS nowadays, they go for usd 2k used on the forums. If you can't find them for sale here just go over g35driver

9.5 +14 10.5 +18 is not really that custom to justify the price and the 6 month wait, as the regular ones are 9.5 + 17 10.5 +18.
Just my .02, good luck

The + 17 +18 do seem too be most common. I went wit the 14 because of the 107mm lip. A little bigger than the +17. But ofcoarse that was supposed to come wit the 18 with 120 something lip for rear. Still staggered. Now ide much rather have used for 2 grand in proper sizes. Ill be going back this weekend with the rims and just dump them off and demand money back. Thanks for the comments guys. Youve helped make up my mind.

Call your credit card company ASAP. They'll refund you and then go after the vendor. It's a fraudulent charge. The longer you wait the harder it will be to go that route.

Op waited several months for rims to arrive. Chances are it was paid for at time of order. Credit card Companies usually have a Window for such refunds

I didn't use my cred card unfortunately. They did my exhaust and tune before this. Also was going to have them install the vortech v3 sc this summer. To bad they lost my trust I would have spent a lot there. At least I know I can't trust them now before they had a chance to really screw me on something bigger.

I know. Using them would be stupid. I'll get angry every time I look at them. I just looked at them a couple mins ago and literally heated up. When I first went there about getting rims they had some Meister s1r's already in transit to there store bcc someone ordered them then backed out. They talked me into buying them but I went back a couple days later and backed out myself bc they were 19x10 -7 and 19x11 -7. At the time I bought those I was thinking they would be flush. Then realized that's not the case so that's when i backed out and went with the GTS. Now he's trying to guilt me by saying if they take these back too then they'll have 10grand of rims in there shop they won't be able to sell. Which is bull****. The Meisters weren't my order to begin with. So there's the whole story. They could try to say it was my order but I know the guy that ordered those Meisters. Met him by chance on nissan 204. I'm sure he will say so if it comes down to that.

And even if the Meisters were my order, that doesn't mean they can screw up my next order and make me eat it. Pffff

I'm not familiar with the court system and how much time ect it would take. I know I'm buzy working most of the time. Don't get many days off so I won't have too much time but am willing to take a couple days off if I have to. Money doesn't come easy to me so this was a huge purchase. I sold my speedboat for these rims and I loved that boat. Stingray with a 150hp merc. It was a big decision for me.

If you've got a printed receipt showing what you ordered it's pretty much an open and shut case. If the shop is smart they'll just refund you before wasting time with going to court.
