Go Bevan! Dont let him get away with ripping you off. I'm sure a few of us would back you up if you want to go round and visit him. Safety in numbers and all that. :P

Thanks! :)
Pity he's in Melbourne though. :( Might get that super nasty mean boy Andrew to go around. Show him how REAL pictures are taken. That'll scare him... :roll: :mrgreen:

Send Andrew around.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

OK guys, thanks for all your help... *sigh* :oops:

I think this guy is one of the dumbest people on Earth, the f#$king wheels don't fit! The n00b wrote down that stud pattern was 4x100. Pop a wheel off, go to put one of these ones on and no way in hell is it going. It's a 4x113 stud pattern! Sheesh, talk about pissed off. Will have to call him today and organise a full refund. :|

I spoke to him on Friday and we were organising a part refund of $150, but now they don't fit. Will call him today and organise a full refund but I guess i'll lose out on the postage. $100 lesson learnt I suppose. :roll:

So I guess the stud pattern should be 4 x 100?

(edit) NVM... answered my own question
