Ripped Off...
Saw a set of Alley Cat wheels for sale on PH... turns out the vendor lives in the next village.
Went round and saw them this morning... decent nick, but poor paint. Bought them and took them straight to the powdercoater.
Got a call from the powdercoater a couple of hours later to say they were disintegrating during sand-blasting... turns out they were half metal and
half filler!
Seller wont answer my phone calls, but he has more or less said "tough" during our (limited) text dialogue!!!

Don't txt him, use braille.
On his head.
He can read the lumps when he regains conciousness.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Go in heavy when you know hes in. Either that or throw one through his windscreen, rear screen, front room window and the sharpest one at the front
door - hard.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

"Caveat emptor" is the rule on this one I fear (principle that the buyer is responsible for checking the quality and suitability of goods
before purchase)
Unless you can prove he knowingly misled you maybe
Hands up those of you who've never been stung then......

To be fair the seller might not have known they were plastic if it wasn't him that bodged them... Caveat emptor
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

Sure... I appreciate all that, but in the circumstances I would have no hesitation in refunding the buyer.
Disappointing!

I agree...Most of us couldn't face selling something duff (and maybe dangerous) like that.

If you had 5 fake twenty pound notes would you have paid for the wheels, just because someone had given them to you? If the answer is yes then you
cant take the moral high ground, if the answer is no you couldnt do that to a fellow human being, then set the wheels on fire and throw them through
his living room window.
Just a thought.

you could just go and give him the wheels back along with the blasters bill...
if he doesnt refund then knock on his door early one eve, smash him in the face with a 2x4, leave a note on his unconcious body saying ' i have
left you negative feedback'...
go home and wait for the police to turn up and get 3 years inside.....if your lucky you will be out after a year and a half....
not that im speaking from experience or anything.....
just because you are a character, doesnt mean you have character....
for all your bespoke parts, ali welding, waterjet, laser, folding, turning, milling, composite work, spraying, anodising and cad drawing....
u2u me for details

Knowing from another chap on here that has bought stuff from Scootz, this really winds me up.
I've never met him but have it on good authority that he's a truly decent chap.
I would go and see the seller, show him the wheels and ask him what he thinks!
Tell him he can keep the wheels, any refund is up to him but they're no use to you
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Cheers!
He knows they'll be left on his doorstep tomorrow morning as they're bugger all use to me and I don't want to be stuck with them!
I'll knock at the door and have a word, but he's already said he won't answer! I'll bring someone with me to sit in the car
justin case he alleges anything!

That's all good but as the flaming cast lump is heading towards his bay window, you'll hear the baby that's just inside that window
start to cry .......
Put it down to experience and be glad you're not burdened with being the type of scum that would sell dodgy wheels.

That's fair enough I recon.....get the blasters to put in writing what they found and invoice him for the works done with a copy of their
findings.
