Default Wrong lugs, great!!!

So just went to amazon and ordered some red Gorilla acorn lugs. All was looking good, put in the year, make, model. And it told me to buy these lugs. Well as I was reading, I found out they were 12x1.50. And I am guessing that just won't work, so now I am out $30 bucks and gotta order some more. As soon as I get them on friday I will take pics and put on sale, just in case someone has a car that will take them.

You bought car parts from an online bookstore?

Amazon actually has a lot of z parts, if I return them, they want a 20% re stocking fee. Well lesson learned, our cars take 12x1.25. I don't care to learn something new. Life experiences.

Contact Amazon directly and explain that you followed directions and ordered what the site said. They are very easy to work with and will more than likely waive the restocking fee since the error was not yours.

What he said, Amazon is actually a good place to buy on line.

Is this thread just to rant and vent?

If the listing is not directly posted and sold by Amazon, they are not liable for the mistake. An online forum/marketplace is not responsible for defamation in terms of libel. Since Amazon is a central marketplace for smaller companies to list their products for sale, you will probably need to directly contact the specific sell you purchased the wrong lugs from.

This is another reason to buy from and support the vendors on this forum. If you had purchased from one of our vendors, I guarantee you they will have set you straight and corrected YOUR mistake before you ordered the lugs in order to get you the right lugs in the first place.

I'm (we are) just giving you a hard time man, take it in stride. This forum is tough on those that contribute with pointless information. However, the members here can also be the most helpful resource on the internet. Welcome and hope you stay!

Those sizes are for extended lugs, I'm not sure why you thought they would not work. If you would have searched you would have seen that tons of people run them
