What do i do?

GR33NMACH1N3 · 06-29-2014, 06:22 PM

I ordered a pair of xxr 530 wheels from this guy and he told me they were 5x120. They ended up being 5x114.3 and i already tried getting my money back. They are brand new in the box. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I was thinking maybe order a 5x120 pair from some online website and say they sent me the wrong ones

but i don't know if that will work. I have seen some wheel adapters but they all seem to be over an inch thick and that won't fit with the 33 offset all around, at least i don't think it will. Any other ideas?

That is a no no, and it will not work. Every tire sold in the US has a unique identification number on the sidewall. I am sure the online website will ask you to send the ID on the tire to ensure it is their tire.

Ok, so he said he ordered WHEELS. Not tires. It could work but it's wrong. You'll probably have to sell them at a small loss and order the right ones.

My bad. You are right. I should have paid more attention.
