https://g35driver.com/forums/20-inch...ke-offers.html

he claims they came of a coupe with no problems. he even says they dont need to have rolled fenders but it wouldnt be a bad idea. i have no problems rolling them, infact i was planning to.

WHEELS DO NOT FIT ON MY CAR, unless i do a wide body or do a -4 camber. my car looked like a 64 impala with the wheels and tires sticking out. i have TEIN basics on and they still stick out like that. i tried PMing, texting and calling. so far ive been able to PM back and forth with his brother because he is supposedly out of town for 2 weeks. i spoke to our moderator (Msedanman) and even he said it seems he was misleading in the description.

feel free to read my itrader and his aswell, he claims to have sent out the wheels one day later (money deposit monday, shippment wed. reality is i paid him at 1:30pm 12/1/08 monday and he texts me at 6:26pm 12/3/08saying he just dropped them off. i get the tracking number thursday afternoon). he aslo charges me $200 for shipping but tells everyone on another thread it only cost him $120. i guess his supplies, gas, and time was the extra $80. i can go on and on with more detail but this is long enough as is.

what do you guys think?
Sorry to hear it but maybe if I tell you that you are not the only one it's gonna make you feel a lil bit better.. During the summer I bought set of rims and wheels from coolbratva. All tires were garbage, wheels weren't better.. When you were driving over 15mph car was shaking REALLY BAD. He was playing soccer or football with these wheels probably. I didn't make a big deal of it because I wen't to X company so they can do refinishing for me and they pretty much f'up wheels with my new tires even more. I opened BBB case and they refunded me enough money so I was able to get new wheels...

After reading all these replies on this thread, I have 2 suggestions for you. Either take him to court and let the court decide.... OR Drop this and move on.

My 2cents.

Since you aren't running a stretched tire and not much negative camber at all, that is why it looks so bad IMO

these are my wheels. i bought them from this guy a while back and i too had the same problem. when i first put them on they stuck out about an inch. i hated them and then i decided to slam them on a set of df210s and they look freaking awesome. wheels tuck right into the tire.

OP do you live in houston? i am from houston also. id entertain a trade for my iforged aeros for yours. mine are 19s with a 4.5 inch lip. let me know...

i live in california. do you have more pics of your car? i think i might and try to fit them. i was going to roll my fenders anyways so i figure i might as well take it a step further and buy rear camber adjustments. so... if i roll my fenders, buy a camber adjuster and that still doesnt work. then i will lastly buy some new thinner rear tires. if all that STILL doesnt work then i will post them on ebay and try to make my money back.

anyone want to buy the current tires on them? if anyone is interested, then let me know. local is preferred but ill ship if needed.

thanks guys!
