DO NOT ORDER FROM WHEELMAX

DO NOT BUY FROM WHEELMAX!

I told everyone that I would report back when I got my wheels, and boy did everything that could go wrong..... DID.

1. they mispelled my last name on the first order... when i called back a few days later for tracking numbers, it showed that they were never ordered when in fact they were but under "oshee" instead of "foshee".

2. The guy took out ANOTHER $1000 out of my freakin account without my say so, and then had the nerve to tell me he couldn't put it back. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] (for assuming the wheels weren't ordered) This left my account at $30 with my insurance due the next day. (ins is direct withdrawal meaning my ins was considered late cuz this guy took out 1000 dollars of MY money that happened to be the day before my payment was due.) F-HIM@!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

3. The money is credited back to my account (thank god) so I feel the worst is over and now all i have to do is wait......

4. The wheels got here today and upon tearing them open I realize they sent me FREAKIN WHITE RACING HART S7's INSTEAD OF SILVER!!!!!!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

5. I immediately call them and the guy gives me a number (ups customer service i think) so I can ship them back. I'm pretty sure they will try and screw me by making me pay a shipping fee for THEIR mistake! So, tomorrow morning I'm gonna either talk to the direct boss of this dumbass and/or fight with ups and have them come pick this crap up.

BTW, these guys tried to tell me I gave them the wrong spelling of my OWN LAST NAME!!!!!! WTF I think i know how to spell my OWN LAST NAME!!!!!!!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

All they do is play the blame game....

salesman: oh well george is the one who screwed your order up... me: You're the one who took the second UNNECESSARY ORDER!!!!! salesman: if you hadn't given us the wrong spelling.... BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!

They were arguing with my like they wer my parents! F-THEM DO NOT BUY FROM THEM they are INCOHERENT BASTARDS WHO SHOULD NOT PROCREATE! END OF STORY AND IM OFF THE SOAP BOX. I hope to steer all of you clear of the crap i am STILL going through.. take my advice Wheelmax is BAD!

peace
-Alex

P.S. OSCAR AND GEORGE were the idiotic salesmen who basically took advantage of me.... if i lived in florida i'd drive their personally and have a chat with them.

i never trust anything from Florida anyways. Every scam you hear or violent serial killer is from florida. Plus, i live in cali so shipping for anything would take too long.

Wow, that sucks. I probably was going to buy from them. I'm thinking of looking locally now though. I hope everything turns out allright in the end.

I know what you're going through. I ordered my rims from a magazine and they gave me the lowest price. Come to find out, they were selling me second hand rims. They didn't tell me or anything. They also forgot to tell me that they didn't have any in stock at that time. So I had to wait soooo long. When I said to cancel my order and send my money back, they said that it would take about 6 weeks to send it back to me. What a bunch of crap! Be careful of where you order your rims.

I bought my tires from Wheelmax and was very satisfied with their service. I did have a problem with the tires when I took them on the freeway and almost shook my self to death. The tires were not properly balanced so I had to pay to rebalance them. The only reason why I wasn't that mad was because it only cost me $25 for Lifetime mounting, balancing, and rotation at my local tire shop, something I would have bought any ways..[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
