Steve, I sent you an email as you typed that out. lol. It is basically stating that they were clearcoated. Local shops are hacks etc.

The prices that I got quoted from HRE were after I stated they were polished and clear coated 542's.

Their prices they quoted me are as follows.

stripping and ...

High polished center - $200 per wheel
Brushed Aluminum Center w/clearcoat - $275 per wheel

Labor Charge for wheel inspection/disassembly and reassembly - 100/wheel

I have not recieved 1 email from with pics or anything, you have both my cell and home # did you think to follow up with before coming on here like this? And yes you did tell me 3 arrived 1 was damaged, 2 others which where rears where fine. You say 1 had carboars on the back of the rim, why on earth would I do that? Wouldn't that make you think someone tried to re package them? I guess I screwed up with the insurance and claiming it for only 1000 but I was thinking I was helping so you didn't get knicked with more fees. It was not Saran wrap it was shrink wrap I can go and take a pic of it right. Your saying I didn't get back to you well that's true cause I didn't recieve an email from you of the pics or any other info you say you sent.

Claim what you want about not getting them. I know what I did, I have emails outbound and the records from my own server showing they were delivered from my server to your hotmail account. There have been zero rejects sent to my server so it has not bounced back.

I sent txt and emails. No response, means I go another outlet to get a response. I told you 3 arrived and 1 was visibly damaged while on the phone with you as that one had NO cardboard on the face of the wheel at all. It was located on the back. The others had the cardboard on them. I told you exactly that. I also stated to you that I have not opened them up, so how in the hell could I have even said they were fine???? I have magic xray vision?

I unwrapped them after getting off the phone with you and was taking pictures with the Iphone as I was not going to put you on hold while I was taking pictures with it. I even told you that I would take pictures after I got off the phone with you as my wife had our digital camera and I had to use the iphone. I did not place you on hold to take the pictures. The original pictures were from the iphone after getting off the phone with you.

As you can see in the picture below that none of the wrapping was touched/removed on the two which are on the floor. Odd how I could tell you that they were fine without even taking off the tape and everything...again xray vision I suppose.

That is how they arrived as I got them from UPS and I supposed that magically once again I was able to tell they were fine while on the phone with you without looking at them? Yeah right.

Also, I recall from your PMs that the only clearcoat that was coming off was on the rear of one of the wheels themselves.

i will take a bunch of pics tomorrow for you post them on photobucket then send you the link..the clear coat peel is only on the back side of the rim, no blemishes on the front, or even close to the front, the tires now have about 150-200miles on them now, but no track time or anything like that..

As you can see on the front lip of ONE of the Rears...

And here on this spoke...

rear0005-scratches.jpg


Looks like there is more than just the rear of the wheel itself. Now I know that this would not have been caused by shipping. Nor would have the following....

I am sure that you failed to see those when you told me about the only peeling happening on the rear of the rim.

how about you read the truth before you start cutting people up?


Truth is read. If you're such a man like you state, do what is right. Not all that happened during shipping,you're absolutely insane if you think so. You more than likely knew they were shit when you sent them and figured they could be fixed for $1k bucks so you tried to blame it on shipping. You figured insurance for the full price would of sent a red flag. Why should this guy suffer because you are a complete moron? I mean seriously. I cant believe you had the audacity to charge what you did for these rims. They look like shit. Sell the blower and compensate the dude some money or just sell it and give him a refund.This should be moved to SD.

dude that blows...and the seller should acknowledged he f'ed up on the packing..u can spend $1000s on engine parts but if you end up using crap bolts dont expect it to last long..same can be said here about $60 on shipping material but using painters tape to finish it off.

on the bright side, most of scratches can be polished and buffed out and actually for thse kind of wheels i prefer having no clear coat cuz they usually pit anyways and dont give the wheels the luster you're looking for. as far as the bent wheel that surely was created by a pot hole.

You claim you're a stand up guy, but you haven't done anything to prove it.

So you do admit to not properly wrapping and protecting the rims for shipment.

We might not knwo you, but your posts and the your responses to the pictures sure tells us quite a bit about what kind of guy you are.

The rims have much more than just a few rock knicks. They are swirled, bent, clearcoat is peeling off, etc. To be honest, they look abused and like shit. The damage to those wheels doesn;t look consistent with damage doen through shipping. It looks like you had a worn out set of wheel (allthough a very beautiful wheel design) and figured you'd sell them sooner than later and get your little KB.

I would be ready to come find you if I was the OP and paid that much for those things considering how much repairs will cost.

I read some of this last night. I had something happen where the shipping basically damaged my item. I m happy I had a good buyer and we could work it out. Theres too much to even read in this tread.

Worst thing, sell them to me ha.

my friend. i have sent emails to John saying i am willing to help end of story, things happen when rims are shipped over 1500miles, until i say fack off im not helping you guys should give me a chance to make it right end of story.
i did admit i didnt use proper tape so im partially to blame i think, but look at the end result. there is no more packaging? it was ripped complety off, and the cardboard was placed on the backside of the rim? would i do that? answer no? they got damaged and shipping then they tried to re-package? anyways im done defending myself to everyone else, i WILL be helping John as i am a stand up guy. regardless of what has been said.

864svt is the op :banana:

and ppl need to relax and stop threatening about coming all the way to canada to "get his money back". if he didnt care he would have deleted his account and be free. but he is still on here answering messages and dealing with purolator. go smoke one and go for a cruise to relax, go rub one out, do whatever you need to do.

Who gives a **** how far you had to ship them. You advertised a certain product in a certain condition to someone for a certain amount of money. He paid you that money and deserves what was advertised in return. Try properly wrapping and packaging something so expensive next time and you won't be dealing with this online drama but I agree atleast you are on here trying to help him out and not leaving him out to dry. :beer:

Here's my .2 cents (for what its worth)....

The seller just sold his soul for a freaking Kenne Bell!!! Are you kidding me? Your answers to these numerous questions are simply "Don't cut me up... let me help blah blah blah" What have you done to help this man? NOTHING!!!!! I can't believe your nerve man. You advertised these wheels as if there was nothing major (physically and visually) with them, however you can tell by the pictures this damage is substantially old. There is no way in hell those wheels magically displayed the damage from those pictures in reference to an alleged "poor shipping company". Not only should you be permanently banned from this site (by IP addy), You should burn in hell as well. :burn:

This entire thread should be stickied by admin for everyone to view in attempt to warn buyers from malicious predators such as yourself.

I will also add ... John dear god man! I know you don't want to hear this and you probably have been beating yourself up twice fold about it, but this should have been a transaction performed in person. It is my personal belief that a business transaction this expensive should have been performed with a little more background information other than a 12" x 12" picture of a vehicle.

I'm tremendously sorry for your loss man, and furthermore if I was on the receiving end of this deal... a plane ticket to canadian country would be in order. I'm appalled at this seller's behavior.

This is my last post on this subject, fack you guys I don't care what you think, ban me I don't give a shat. Do what you guys need to do. Here's what is happening so far. I am waiting to hear from the claims people through the shipping company. After that I will be sending john money to repair the wheels from what they don't cover..
Iam partially to blame as I didn't ship them properly. I'm done here. John you have my email and all contact info, we will be intouch just like we where yesterday

e thug??????????????????????


:shrug: Negative.... did you read my name? I fight for food .... I do this for a living buddy. I have no intentions of being a thug, quiete frankly could care less, but it is what it is.


i saw the wheels before they left his garage, hell i even helped wrap them. there was cardboard and everything was wrapped numerous times. cant blame the seller for some young punk kid that works for purolator that gets curious and cuts them open to see what they were. good luck


:lol: Did you happen to split the money on the wheels with your partner too? From your post... you should get banned too you lying piece of $^it. There is nothing that tears me up worse ... than a liar and a thief! :fm:
