Wheel buyers beware of Seller!
No bashing just the facts:
I bought SWEETTALKERs iforged aeros. i paid for them in full, cash deposit into his personal account on monday dec 1st. apparently his account said it was still pending, even though it was cash. so since he didnt have cash in hand until wed (dec 3), he shipped them out 2 days after my deposit. they were delivered to me on sat night and he told me they were dirty and to clean them. i cleaned the tires, outside wheel and even the inner wheel sat night after work (10pm). tires and wheels looked as promised, except a little curb rash on one front wheel. not THAT big of a deal except he promised them to be flawless. sunday i jack the car up, take off the rear wheel and slap on the wheel. unfortunately the wheels stick out about 1.5 inches or so. i try the fronts and the same problem there. as in his thread here:
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?

based on the pictures, he is on a sedan, so he has higher offsets, plus those wideeebody, so those wheels fit WIDEE.
imagine that on a lower offset coupe, without rolled fenders, it's almosted expected that they'll stick out a good amount
maybe if you roll out your fenders like he did, plus get some neg camber, it'll still look good

If you have all of his information, than just take him to small claims court. Writing on here, most likely, is not going to accomplish your goal since he has stopped communicating with you. File a claim and let him get served. He clearly misrepresented his product.

hey i dont know if his inbox is full (i cant Pm him cause it says its full) or if he just blocked me from PMing him, so if someone wants to PM the link to this thread to him, maybe we can get his side of the story. its not fair just hearing my side, ya know?
