Title: Would you guys run these?
Post by: ashbreed on 11 May 2011, 15:38
Bought these of flebay over the weekend. Bought them to refurb n swap over with my rims (exactly the same). Started rubbing them down this morning n realised that there was a slight "buckle" in 2 of them... Would u say that there fooked?!

Fooked, I wouldn't put them anywhere near my car, even on the back they vibrate like hell, plus they may even be fractured you just don't know what they have been through to get like that.

BTW put some shoes on else you'll wear your sock out.

they are not "slightly buckled" they are absolutely mullered and have had some serious impacts.

some ebay sellers need stringing up, proper dangerous

Only paid £30 for them so if I give the 2 sh!t ones back then I can refurb the 2 then swap them over 2 at a time...

May go to the seller (just down the road) n slash his tyres.... BUT, I'm not as much of a Cnut as him! May just torch his car instead lol!

This is really simple... just take them back,  explain what he probably already knows, get refund, and go down the Pub with the money :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Worth a shot, if you've just bought them.

Don't hold your breath though!
