Thumbs down Product misrepresentation.. Can anything be done?

This may be a really stupid question, but say you buy something that was TOTALLY misrepresented. Is there anything you can do? Please ppl let me know

Did you purchase something that was misrepresented? If you did & it's over $500, maybe $1,000, something can be done through a lawyer/police.

Just really ticked off right now. Dont wanna be specific in who sold me the wheels, but tires were said to be new, which they werent(not even close) and 2 wheels actually have what looks like RUST. Yes, I said rust. It doesnt come off and wheels were said to be in excellent condition..... 1 tire has 90% tread, other 2 have around 40% and one has like 30%. This is just bull*hit.....

No, it was a late-night deal, and wheels were said to be in excellent condition, but were veeery dirty. Upon cleaning them up, I found the rust on 2 of them. The whole tires thing just kinda pissed me off, but I said scr*w it. I can live with a little less tread. But this....this is just overboard! IMHO.

They are forged aluminum BBS's. I know I know, it JUST looks like rust. Thats just what Im callin it. Its not road grime, and it does NOT come off. I took a screwdriver(bad idea, Im not retarded) to it veeeery carefully, and got some of it to flake off, but not without messin up the paint on the wheel. Its weird. They also have quite a bit of curb rash. I dunno, just very dissapointed. If I would have seen them in this condition, I definetely wouldnt not have bought them

Yup, figured that. Oh well. I guess its just another lesson learned. INSPECT CLOSELY before you buy....Hahaha. So anyway, anyone want a set of trashed BBS's with bald tires? . Exagerating a bit
