Would you describe the following Spiders as "All in very good condition with NO major scratches or bumps" ???

I take it they are all the same? Can't see how you could possible say they are free from scratches and bumps, the one in the main pic looks like its been curbed all the way round

There’s one really bad one shown a few times. The middle picture also shows some further scratches on another of the wheels. That wheel also has a flat spot which I didn’t notice until after getting the camera out.

Edit*

Flat spot, difficult to see in picture though.



"All in very good condition with NO major scratches or bumps" ????



and one of my dogs puppys.

Even if he was, surely the sense of "touch", would establish that those are tired / knackered.

Yeah, would be hard to call them anything but in fairly poor condition.

Also the tyres included where described as “Very good condition Eagle F1 tyres fitted.” But only 3 Eagle F1s turned up and a Proxy which is a different size. Only one of the F1s is “very good” too. The rest are just okay.

I paid £700 including shipping of £100 and Ive only been refunded £600, which paypal took £20 in fees. I don’t think it matters whether the price is fair for the wheels in this condition as the money was paid for the wheels as they where described. I would rather pay more for sorted ones than mess about. So Im a £120 down for the privilege of being disappointed and messed about, do you think that’s a fair outcome?

Can you spot the different size tyres?




Hardly ready to go are they?

Thanks for your opinions. Ive also posted them on a couple of other forums and the feedback is unanimous, there awful, nothing liked described and Ive been fleeced.

Im getting really annoyed now as there no way the seller can honestly think they haven’t ripped me off and lied about the wheels condition. Ive been lucky enough in the past never to have been stung on anything, and am very trusting. I’ve even bought a car over the phone on someone’s word that it was immaculate, it was too. There’s always one though isn’t there!

More puppies as requested.

BUT if you only ended up paying £120 for them and say £200 for a refurb on all the wheels they will be as new and for a fraction of the cost, just need some tyres

The wheels are poor. The pups are fab.
