+1, or post it somewhere that possible interested parties can pick up for free. Too much waste on this planet, as it is.

Very true, my friend.

I know this thread is a bit old but I finally got the pictures and video. For some reason the video won't upload (maybe its the wrong format), but here is a pic of the wheel and the printout from the machine.

For those of you that have forgotten, the seller refunded me the $ for the two rears, and the search for two WB fitment turbo twists continues!

Hey Ben....

So are you looking for 2 rears still?

I know I have one leftover twist wheel from my C4S sitting in my garage, but I can't remember if it's a front or a rear. I think it's straight/true; I can't recall if it has any road rash on it, but let me go check and see. I was saving it to use as a hose reel, but it's just sitting here collecting dust in a big Hefty bag.

If it suits your needs, you can have it for free.

Seller should have refunded whole transaction. Now you have more work to do. Wish he was outed.

OK, I'll look in the garage on Monday when I get back into town. If it's a rear, it's yours if you want it

+993

Strike one was selling the totally bent wheel as "straight and true."

Strike two was selling a mismatched set (as we all know each wheel has a clearly legible part # stamped right on it,) and then "congratulating" the OP on getting "a rare and valuable wheel that was worth more."

Third strike was the seller never replying on this thread. That alone tells the whole story.

That rim is f'kd!

That's really bad.

Mutual agreement or not . . . . wow!

I'd consider asking the mods to have this guy banned.

Even Helen Keller would have seen that. (No offense to HK).

Ben, you should be compensated for all the hassle you are going through.

And, you still don't even have a set.

That sucks.

i held my tongue long enough.
i had two GT3 wheels for sale.
my ad says "looks like ****, fugly, really bad, roller only, rattle can black.. if you want pic, then these are not for you." to signify they are bad. and i am asking $100 each ($1200 new per wheel). i did get a RL wanting them. but despite all the warning i stated, i still took the wheel to shop and spun on machine (visually the wheels are fugly palint but straight). on tire machine, they dont show being straight. so i told buyer i am throwing in trash. it's a matter of principal. how can one sell things that simply cannot perform it's primary function. if i adverstised them as paper wt, i would sell with no hesitation, but i advertised as wheels, so from my understanding, wheels should be ROUND. i hope this situation can be rectified.
