[QUOTE=Seryoga;368822]Exactly, this is what it should have looked like, and not that half assed drill job.

exactly if that is what they would have sent me i would not be complaining . i think someone made a few mistakes with the drill i dont even see two different patterns in the wheel i got . i see the pattern i needed and then i see it again twisted alittle .

There is no way that can be the designed hole drilling on those! The other picture with spacing between the different patterned holes I can understand. Not in the wheel business but we would never have a bolted connection like that in my trade I can't believe it would be acceptable in an auto application. It looks-as someone else stated already- that it is the same bolt pattern twice and not two different bolt patterns.

That's bullshit, the problem is, you are talking to a paper-pushing clerk who doesn't know jack...

Just send it back to them for a complete refund, plus the shipping cost. I wouldn't buy anything from them again.

Send them that pic and see what they say. Call your CC company. Now looking at that new pic, I would say the wheel didnt turn far enough when they drilled the second set of holes. Those dont look safe,

I'd email him that pic and a link to this thread. Maybe they're thinking that this will be a show jeep and never go off road, which is total BS to be honest. I've dealt with aftermaket wheels. I even had a case where a customer didnt come back 2 weeks later after a service to get his wheels re-torqued. Tried pinning us with a bill to pay for the damage that was caused after the wheel came loose. Aftermarket wheels are known to do that and youre case would be 10 times worse. I could easily see the center of those wheels breaking if they came loose.

that is complete and total bull shit, send them back , drive them back , get a lawyer whatever you have to do. that is not how they are supposed to look, they have to take them back if you didn't mount or try to fit them on your vehicle, as long as you haven't done anything accept take pics of them they have to. If they continue to refuse , it would definately be worth persuing with legal council. I'm sure those rims weren't cheap.
