Bent Rims

These are used, but freshly plated. And they LOOK GREAT! But put them on a balance and the OD runs out about .200 parallel to the rotation axis. Since they sat for a couple weeks before I got tires the vendor says TS! Most eBay vendors will work hard to be honest and make buyers happy. Just not this gal. Anyway, I charged them to AMEX through PayPal so I'm just going that route. They are off my bill for now anyway!

ebay wheels are cheap for a reason. they bend, crack when braking or taking potholes etc.
Don't cheap out on items that may put yourself and others at risk!

no offense it is kinda your fault. You did buy used rims and took several weeks to check them.

just my opinion

There are a couple of places, in the Chicago area, that will repair bent wheels. Since you are in Wisconsin, shipping or maybe even driving shouldn't be a problem. I don't have their names at the moment, but they are in the north & northwest suburbs.
