Well, here goes my luck again H-t.

Recently purchased a set of 949 6UL wheels from the user "SilverStreak02" that can be seen here:
http://hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?t=3091006

He did state that there were some chipping on the wheels from the tire mounting process. Cool, no problem, I'll just ask him for more pictures of the wheels.





So if you guys read/seen the screen shot of the text above, you can see how he stated "one spot on each wheel"

Cool, rims are in pretty good shape. So I agree to purchase them for his asking price and send him the money. When i sent him the money I also asked him to pack the wheels well.


Well....looks like someone tried to save a couple of bucks and packed them poorly..
box 1:

box 2:


Yea....awesome padding for the wheels.

Here's the pictures of the wheels when i took them out of the box:
wheel1:





wheel2:





Wheel3:






Wheel4:






So, looking at the pictures, you can probably see why I am upset about this purchase. Seller tells me that there is one chip per wheel. He also said that he would package them well.
When boxes arrives like this:




UPS will not cover items if there as poor packaging.

I tried talking to SilverStreak02 about the situation over text messages but he says its not his problem. I believe that it IS his problem. He lied about the condition of the wheels and packaged them poorly as well to make matters worse.

I'm not here to ask for a full refund. I'm here to give you the option of paying for the paint/primer so i can refinish the wheels. I'm not going to take them to a professional shop to get them done, like I said in the text message, I'm a pretty reasonable guy.

What I'm planning to do is go down to a local paint shop and have them match the color n put it in the spray can form, sand the wheels all the way down, primer and repaint on my own. probably cost like what? $50 bucks tops?

If you want me to go get a quote for the materials and send you a picture, I'll be more then happy to do it.

If anyone wants more pictures or even a video of the wheels lmk. I have screen shots of the entire conversation as well.

Handle YOUR business SilverStreak02!

seems fair that you want the money to repair them.

carbondc2

How much we're they?

damn, that's shady behavior!

6000pounds

50 dollars for the materials to repair the area he did not show you in texts seems fair. I read the thread title and thought they had shown up in 7 pieces. Not that bad.

Yea I was totally fine with the wheels cause he said that's the only marks on them. Once I got the wheels. Totally different story

The wheels are exactly as described. All visible paint chips and scuffs can be seen in the original pictures from my thread that you linked. If you can't see them, I will gladly take the time to hold your hand and point them out. If you're seriously concerned about the chips and scuffs located on the back of the wheel and the inside edge of the outer lip, where the tire sits, you shouldn't have bought used wheels. None are visible when a tire is mounted on a wheel and the wheel is mounted on the car. I have no reason to offer any kind of refund, partial or full.

are you serious? IF you are not questioning ALL THAT DAMAGE. Then obviously you knew they were that bad when you shipped them. I honestly figured you would be claiming it happened DURING SHIPPING. I was wrong. You put 2 wheels ON TOP of each other in a box. No packing material!!!! What do you think is going to happen in transit...damaged worse. But for some reason you see this as same condition as you sent them.

You should be thankful, all he is asking for is a measly $50. Do the right thing and refund him that amount to cover the materials to fix the wheels.

Seriosly...have you seen your original thread? and you seen my pictures? there is a BIG difference on condition of the wheels.
Just because they "can be" covered up when tires are installed doesn't mean that the chips aren't there.
Basically I think what AMS Mike thinks, YOU KNEW about the chips on the wheels before you shipped them.
Yes, I bought used wheels, I bought them thinking that they were in better condition then what I've received, Bought them cause YOU lead me to think that they were in better condition than what I've received.

All I'm asking is $50 so i can go get painting material so that I can repair them. That's using my own time and labor to repair the wheels that was not described correctly in your thread and via text.
I'm glad the wheels didn't have any more damage cause of the poor packaging

Yep, seriously. I guess by that comment, you did not bother looking at the pictures.









I even pointed out one you missed. Most are pretty much invisible with a tire mounted. Pictures that you took from two inches away and pictures of the backside of the wheel I'm not even going to waste my time with. Normal wear and tear is to be expected with used wheels. I don't understand why you're even concerned about something that no one will ever see. And there was nothing wrong with the packaging. Like I just showed you, all the scuffs and chips detailed in your pictures are visible in my originals. I can't control how UPS handled the package. There is no reason for a box flap that's completely taped to split.

Again, I have no reason to offer you any kind of refund. The wheels arrived exactly as described. It's not my problem that you didn't read the description or view the pictures. I'll quote myself one last time.

that is definitely not packaged well. while chipping on the back wont be seen like you say that is still no where near packaged well.

lol. pictures are horrible and you can barley see damages in the pictures. do you want me to get tires mounted and snap more pictures for you? I'm pretty sure whatever damage that is on the lip will be visible even with the tires mounted.

I took close up pictures because I was being DETAILED. Unlike your post/text. You should have circled the damages in the pictures in your original thread.

If you read your text message, it says "That's all of them, one spot on each wheel from tire mounting"
^^^ Did i read that wrong? If so, please explain.

You can't control how ups handles their packages but YOU CAN package the items IN the box with packaging materials to prevent damages. See, if you had, say, bubble wrap or another piece of cardboard wrapped around the lips of the rims, the rims would not be out in the open if the box did tear at the edges (which it did).

Wheels should be bought local lol

Not bad use some simple green and 1000 grit sandpaper they will clean up, ups sucks at shipping bulk items I used to work there in hs, only overnight express service gets extra care.

pine_apple45

iTrader: (2)

lol that'll just remove the rest of the paint

famous323

iTrader: (9)

No it won't feather it, tire shops leave some residue from mounting all the time if simple green wont get it off I feather it with 1000 grit.

that black is where the paint chipped off. there is no residue

the fourth pic of wheel 2 is obvious from rubbing due to poor packing. smh

still waiting on his reply. seems like he may be like all the others and runs away from his problems

You my sir will NEVER get a single dollar from me or anyone who ever posts in any thread to purchase an item from you. I will make it my business to refer them to this thread 1st. You seriously believe there was nothing wrong with how you packaged two separate pieces of metal that weigh 20+ pounds each, directly on top of each other, without so much as a thin piece of cardboard flap to keep the wheel lips from coming in contact with each other????? You and your type are THE REASON i refuse to purchase anything off the forums that are not local.... you should refund the OP $100 for the headache of having to post this thread plus the materials to fix the wheels... IMHO OP should get a full refund...


No one is saying you didnt describe the wheels as having chips before purchase, the problem is the wheels came to the buyer with MUCH MORE DAMAGE DUE TO CARELESS PACKAGING PREPARATION BEFORE SHIPPING thats why you should compensate him for your obvious negligence...SMFH

^^^ this. exactly what I've been trying to say! thank you!

stl eh2

You're mad about rubbing to the inside of a wheel? Something that won't be seen ever? You're lucky he even put them in a box i bought wheels that had cardboard taped over the face of the rim wrapped in a bed sheet I didn't even get a box. It's not like they are bent or cracked or curbed. 11 of the pics you posted were scuffs on the back of the rim on the lip where the tire is mounted. Honestly the damage he pointed out is the only damage I'd be worried about.

pine_apple45

iTrader: (2)

Lol. So what your saying is that I don't have the right to be mad about the condition of the wheels I've received? Did the seller not tell me in the text message that those are the ONLY scrapes/paint chips? Did the seller ignore my simple request of packaging the wheels well? Pretty sure the tires will not cover those scuffs on the back because they bead behind that lip. Want me to get tires mounted and show you? It's a 4 hour drive back home to do that but I'll do it to prove a point for ya.

Sorry that you had a seller that packaged your wheels poorly as well. I've shipped wheels/tires with cardboard on the faces of the wheels AND in-between the wheels so they don't beat each other up during shipment. Haven't had a problem so far. Why? It's cause I took the time to carefully package the wheels so the buyer would receive the wheels in the exact condition described when they purchased it.

So how much is a piece of cardboard to put in between two rims? How much would that weigh? If he just followed my simple request...do you think this thread would have existed? Probably not unless the wheels were already in this condition before shipping.

In for this can't believe he sent them like that smh

since he decided to be an *** hat on local forum, i will post my experience with silverstreak. i bought an LSD from him a couple years back. was described to me as being in perfect working order and nothing wrong with it. i took it a good friend to have him go through it. it was TRASH. come to find out it was spitting the axle out of the transmission, washers were broken into little peices or just flat missing all together. he tried to pass the blame off on some other people. after the blame guy he offered me a refund only if i was to reassemble it. why the hell would i reassemble it? so you could go sell it to someone else? i brought it back in pieces to prove that the it was **** adn he reluctantly refunded my purchase. i would not buy from him again under any circumstances.
