What would you do?
2006 G35 sedan
Brand new set of tires, brand new rims ordered from a prominent Website with great sales and service.
I am not very good with automobiles, but the sales manager should have known.
I am driving down the highway @80mph I feel a slight shimmy to the wheels my thought, poor tire balance, I slow to 65 the problem goes away so I thought, so I exit of the highway to route 40, there are 2 young ladies in the next lane pointing to my tires, my arrogant behavior give these ladies the thumbs up, thinking their checking out my new wheels, ha ha ha, the light turns green i continue @65 mph all of a sudden boom, crash Boom @ 65mph my front end hits the ground so it seems. I pull over quickly to the grass. 2 front flat tires 2, I am pissed, the ladies were telling me my tires were low.
No way this cant be true 2 brand new tires, I began to process quickly I called everyone to include my attorney did i say I was pissed. My car was towed to the shop, I am told My rims valve stems were too long and the other one snapped.
I have requested the company that sold me the rims reimburse me for 2 new tires, cab fare and tow fees and to send me another set of rims with an outside valve stem. (The other valve stem inside} there was no damage to the car at all, I had it checked and the rims are in need of repair. what do you think.

This guy covered it^
Sorry about what happened though. Hope you get your money back for the damages and everything because that sucks

The part about the thumbs up thing made me laugh too haha. Bet that'd be kind of embarressing to find out afterwards, but then again you had more important things to worry about by then.
