Buyer Beware.

www.directcouriersolutions will get them back for a reasonable fee, picking up from your home.

Shame you had this experience, everyone I've ever dealt with on here has been 100%, though would have thought if the pictures they supplied & tyres were different I would send them back regardless or ask for say £100 refund to close matter, as am sure they really don't want them back

Thanks for the link. Thats exactly what I did and was knocked back.

Even a ton wont get them upto scratch, they need a full refurb.

Assuming this all gets sorted, what are you doing with the CSLs? Open to offers?

That's a real shame. I guess it has to happen occasionally but you would generally expect much more consideration from the forum than from an eBay seller

Could this just be a simple misunderstanding? One person's like new may not be everyones? After all they are a used set of wheels .

I'm not taking sides ( I dont know either party or even who the other party is ) just pouring some calming oil on the waters

Afraid not. The original pictures are of absolutely spotless alloys. Also regarding...

6mm or 7mm is easily within error limit - you'd only have to push slightly harder/softer on the gauge and you'd end up with a different of 2mm.

My gauge doesn't work like that.

Yes, but the sellers might, but I think the point is tread depth should be indicated as a guide only if the actual thread depth is important to you, thus not just an indication, then you should take/ask for three measurement points inside, middle and outside. Rears are especially prone to unequal wear on the Zed due to camber

 

[Pjz4]

did the seller measure from the wear indicator or from the base of the tread i.e 1.6 mm diff .

 

[Merrsh1]

Not sure and Either way I'd have overlooked the tread. The state of the wheels i wouldn't. I've decided they are going back so lesson learned on my part. :x

Make sure you wrap them up well enough. Dont want to seller to say you are returning them in worse condition than when he sent them.

just had a quick look at the original for sale thread and would agree there was no mention of any damage. It does in fact say "perfect" condition which I would take as just out of the box brand new.

With only 25 posts, maybe the seller doesn't share the same community spirit the rest of us do?

After I found you hadn't posted in a for sale thread, I did a search of the for sale category for the word "wheels" and then eliminated the brands I knew not to match your picture which left me with 1. To then confirm I checked the rest of your photobucket to make sure they were the exact same. Easy!

Yes I do have a link but Merrsh didn't want to name and shame, so you can hunt yourself, not too hard to find ;-)
