Do you get to keep the wheels and get the insurance $ from fedex, or do they just destroy the rims???

Yes assuming they won't compensate you for the damage and let you keep the wheels send them ****'s back.

Fed-Ex should not have agreed to ship them if they were not packaged good enough to ship them without damage

Man, i wonder what was going through the mind of the people who agreed to ship these. If i was the fedex guy who dropped them off, I would seriously think there was something wrong here. Amazing how careless people are.

That is just horrible. I had the same thing happen to me. I used to own a 2000 Audi S4 and I bought replacement oem rims for the winter. The seller slapped a shipping label on the face of each rim and shipped them that way!!! So when I saw your wheels it was a blast from the past. At least you had cardboard on the faces. To be a big d*ck he was pissed that I wanted my money back!!!! Sux man

This dude was the same way, called me on my phone and started yelling at me! Saying I'm not giving you any money back at all, and telling me he just had a set of 3 piece work rims packaged to him the same way yeah right.

I feel your pain my friend. That is absolute BS. Its as easy as 1+1=2! You sent me the rims F'd up.....now you can have you "mint rims"back and put them on theat POS Q45 INFINITY!! On top of it all the seller then said I would have to pay for the return shipping. Audasity. Remember one thing...Paypal is 99.9% of the time on the buyers side. gl

Yeah, the guy told me I was going to pay shipping, I just started to laugh, I didn't sign for em, didn't open them= RETURN TO SENDER= I'm not paying anything.

I hope your right about paypal being on my side.

I cant take off the cardboard on the front.....so damm tempting. I can only begin to think what they look like.

I like the one photo with the hole through the card board, I can only imagine that one got chucked pretty far. ( I'm picturing the rims flying like a discus)
