I am sure the buyer won't be to happy with the delay and the use of his wheels and tires if they've sent her the money. Hopefully, they'll be some compensation for the buyer for the delay and additional use.

actually.. i had the two old tires in my car to take to my work to get them shipped by friday! he hasnt sent me the money yet, and i emailed him and told him of the situation... it really sucks. and i was paying attention..but this road had like 100 potholes and they were trying to repair it.. oh well

Sucks about the tire, but how is the rim??

FrozenPilot · 11-30-2006, 11:31 AM

Sucks, but can't really say I'm surprised.... 19's, tire load rating not enough for the car. Better luck next time.

Blondie, at least you didn't bend or warp the rim...I know how hard you worked looking for wheels!

Blondie151O · 11-30-2006, 01:23 PM
