i found a set of mille miglia's on ebay with tires.
auction said rims were new with used tires.
i called the guy & he said i could buy just the rims for $450.00+$60.00shipping & i should just pay through paypal.
i sent the payment & he shipped the rims alone the same day.
i recieved them today
1 was scratched on the outer lip
1 on the inner lip
1 on the inside
the scratches look like they are from the mounting machine.
i had my tire guy spin them on his hunter balancer & 2 of the rims are bent.
one was bad enough to need .75 of weight.
remember this is just the rim.
i called him & he insisted this was normal, but said if i sent him more money he would send 2 replacement rims & then refund me after he got the bent rims. i refused to send more money, after he rambled for 2 minutes he agreed to send ups pickup tags for the rims then refund the full amount including shipping.
i called paypal to let them aware of the problem & since i purchased the insurance for 28.00 they told me to not send them back to the seller or i would not be covered by the insurance & i should ship the rims to them.
then the seller called me & told me that paypal put the money on hold & demanded i send him full payment or he would contact the fbi & report me for mail fruad since i still had the rims.
i called paypal & they told me that he still has the full payment & they pay me out of their own pocket to cover the insurance payout.
i called him & told him what paypal said, the seller screamed again then hung up.
he called back again & told me that if i did not pay him he would report me to the fbi again & make my life bad by affecting my personnal credit rating & i would never be able to forget him then he hung up again.
i shipped the rims to paypal per their instructions & contact the fbi.
the agent told me not to worry & just file a complaint which is what i did.
i payed $510.00 for the rims
then another 28.00 for insurance
& then 67.00 to send them to paypal.
the rims appear to be seconds or thirds or just pure crap.
