New Wheels

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

New wheels have been shipped! Finally!!

Excited now :)

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Wheels have arrived. Wrong ones!! :(

The ones I ordered are not in stock for the forseeable future. So now I have no new wheels for japfest plus the hassle of sending these wrong ones back and waiting for my refund. Not happy :(

[IHgs300]

What did they do Chris? send another style hoping you would keep them? I would be !"£"! as well.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Yeah that's exactly what they did. When they told me they were out of stock and I would have to wait a week they offered me some alternative but similar alloys. I declined as I didn't like them but that's what turned up today!

[IHgs300]

Id be spitting feathers, have you had an explanation from the seller? Also open an item not as described case with e-bay asap.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

This is what they said.....

I am sorry that we didnt get back to you yesterday, unfortunately we have a bit of a problem on our hands

The mesh 312 wheels have not come in, they were suppose to be on the container that arrived yesterday but they are not,

I am afraid that we will need to collect the rims for a full refund, i am realy sorry for the inconvenienced that we have caused you, i know we have

seriously let you down and i genuinely fell terrible for it,

If there is anything at all we can do to make this any better for you we would be more than happy to sort it out but i cant realy think of anything to make the situation any better,

If you let me know what day is best i will send the courier to collect so we can get your refund sorted asap,

I can't write on here how I'm feeling right now!

I dunno if I can help, I happen to have similar wheels for sale, only thing is they all have tyres and I realise you have bought brand new rubber too?? Although my wheels are used, a couple have very minor kerbing and one a slight dent in the (replaceable) lip, only took them off the car yesterday but i'll be giving a good clean and polish up over the next couple of days

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Thanks for the offer Rory. I do like your wheels but as I said I've got 4 new tyres ready to go on and I really want a brand new set so I'm wheel shopping at the moment :)

[lexus loon]

Totally agree with ian, Chris, those are nice.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

I think I actually prefer them Ian LOL! :)

[IHgs300]

Go for it Chris, will look great on the stand at japfest

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

If only Ian... They won't be here till Monday :( japfest is tomorrow... Always the way isn't it!

[IHgs300]

Yep it's Typical ain't it mate? Can't rely on anyone nowdays.

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Well the wheels are finally on the car!

I'm undecided to tell the truth. The Aeros are being refurbished right now so I'll make a decision which wheels to keep when the Aeros come back looking brand new.

At first I didn't like them but I saw a reflection of the car in some shop windows while crawling through town this afternoon and it looked great, so they're starting to grow on me.

[panya]

I like it Chris giv it a mean look to it, now time to get some springs next :), but do keep the aero, when it finish refurb don't some pics.

[asharb123]

Like the wheels Chris. Look good on the car. Certainly stands out more.

What's the writing on your back bumper about?

[bandit110]

I've got to say they look superb, not many styles go well on the IS imo but these are very smart!

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Like the wheels Chris. Look good on the car. Certainly stands out more.

What's the writing on your back bumper about?

It says Lexus in kanji, sometimes I forget I'm not 18 anymore

[ChrisIS200SportTTE]

Thanks people. They are growing on me, it's just I loved the aeros.

[matt-c]

Nope, sorry. Black rims just do not do it for me. Or the "tattoo" either...!

[Raymond.]

The wheels look good but the Aeros look better (and bigger) under an IS IMO.

I'm not a fan of black wheels. I had black winters under mine and couldn't wait to put the summers back on. Still have the winters stacked up in the shed for whatever reason. Not be needing them on a FWD
