Well, after getting nailed by a Prime member on a misrepresented set of wheels I decided months ago it was time to have a set built. Put an ad up on Prime for my '02 wheels, sold them very cheap to another Prime member and gave him a free set of tires to boot, he was young and on a tight budget. When they arrive he informs me that the tires are more worn than he hoped they would be and tells me that he's going to give me negative feedback even though I gave him those tires as a gift! I even offered to give him his money back, but for what he paid he wasn't about to do that. Should've taken all that as a sign.
Placed an order with iForged, after months of waiting the wheels that arrive are not what I ordered. What's worse, I was told the wheels would be ~ 23 lbs each, the 18" rears weighed 30.5 lbs. Vince @ iForged told me my scale was broken. After some stressfull conversations, I was told they could not build what I ordered and refunded my money.
Next I tried to purchase wheels from Mark @ Dali. I know alot of you have had very bad experiences with him, but i've done business with him for a couple years now and all has gone well. Up to now. I always defended Mark whenever someone said he ripped them off, well now he's flaked out on me as well. Over a month was wasted.
After all that I decided I would just go back to '02 wheels and take the loss of selling the other ones. Purchased a set from a Prime member...turns out he's ripped off many ppl here and on other forums. My fault for not checking the guy out more, I normally do. You can guess what happened, he never shipped the wheels/tires and stopped returning my calls and msgs. Found out where he lived and left him one final msg that I was catching a flight to come and 'see' him, and I started making arrangements to head out to Macarthur airport. My money was paypal'd back before I could even purchase a ticket.
That brings us to two days ago, when I called sos and purchased a set of Volks. Chris told me the price increase would take effect the following day so I would need to give some payment that day. I said no problem but my card didn't authorize. Turns out b/c I just moved they only needed to put my old address until the cc company processed my new address. I called sos back, they said they would run the card through and I asked that they please call me back to confirm everything was fine. Never heard back that day or the next, and they never charged my card. To be honest that's the third time in a row that Chris hasn't called me back on something. When Seth was there he always got back to me. I'm giving up on wheels and have been scammed and let down so much that i'm now strongly considering selling my second NSX. Not sure if any of you remember how I got nailed on my first NSX, but I put thousands and thousands into that car to make it right again. I've just had it...i'm sure a few of you will say goodbye and not give it a second thought, but I know this resonates with some of you. Sorry to complain, and for the long post, but I just need to get this off my chest. Anyone want to buy a '97 NSX in incredible condition?
