Finding a pair (or two singles) of WB solid spokes will take some patience I would think. What a PITA. And then, you have to sell off the 1 rear WB hollow spoke. This assumes of course the seller won't make good on his representations.

Unbelievable. The fact that the guy won't simply offer your money back, and just start over tells volumes. Offering $50 to compensate? Well that's what I'd expect in the world of selling $2200 944's or Honda Civics.

No doubt the guy knew it was mismatched set, if he didn't also know about the bend.

Really? You would risk your life, wealth and everything in-between to exact some " street justice" over some wheels? I know people talk a lot of crap on the internet but that's just not helpful or even believable.

if i were the seller, i would have told you to ship them back for full refund inc shipping back. it's very simple

i sold a lot of stuff here. only once i had someone telling me that the item was below expectation. rather than arguing, i paypaled back immediatley after receiving his email. he graciously expedited shipping back to me. i then paypaled him the shipping return cost. we are all good.

said item was sold to another RL who felt they were in condition as described.

going from $50 to $100 in compensation wastes more time then the monetary value. just refund the money and be done with it.

Very unlikely we can do anything to help you.

All IMO of course.

Totally agree with the above post.

The seller's had two days to post his (I am presuming it's a 'he') side of the story and to make it right in front of his Rennlist brothers and sisters. He has not done so, which speaks volumes for his integrity.

Please disclose the identity of the seller so that none of us has to go through what you went through dealing with this individual.

very well put. mistake or not, just make it right. I prefer to sleep at night with a clear conscience.

Call out seller by name. He would've posted on this thread if this were an honest mistake.

What are you going to do with 3 matching wheels and 1 mismatched wheel? I'd never mount this setup on my car. This alone should be an automatic refund and return at the seller's expense; honest mistake or not.
