Wtf!

Ok I bought some Enkei CDR9's w/kumho rubber from a shop, had them balance and install everything...decided I wanted to sell them...A guy with a Hyundia Tibouron decides he'd like to buy them....He trys them on to make sure they will fit...First 3 wheels fit no problems....Go to put on the last wheel and the bolt holes are off!!!!!!

On these rims there are 8 holes for 2 differnt types of bolt patterns (the civic used a differnet 4 holes than what were needed for the Tibouron. the hole are off by about 3 or 4mm.

So he obviously didn't buy them,

Now im wondering what I should do...Go to the shop with my reciept (I bought them about 2 years ago)

or go right to Enkei?

and If either will do ANYTHING what will I get a new wheel?

what should I do guys? I'm gonna call tommorow

hmm, if the rims are about 2 years old, i don't think anywhere you go would do anything about them, unless there was like a five year warranty on them or something

ha ha I was thinking yep that is hyndai for you.. but hmm that sucks. I would contact enkei and see what they can do for you. also contact the dealer you bought them from record the call and ask what kind of manufacturer warranty comes w/ the rims. if they say 3 years or whatever say well I have a defect what do I do... prolly will tell you to call enkei. that sucks man

warranty wont cover that. if you got the rims for a 4x100 car then thats what they're gonna give you. you can get the same rim in universal bolt in 4x100/4x108 or 4x100/4x114.3, thats what you have, 3 that are the same and 1 that is different. its not a defect or anything. like i said before, just sell them to someone with a 4x100 bolt pattern.
