****UPDATED RESULTS ON PAGE 5****
Last month, I posted a WTB wheel spacers in the classified ad's
http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/buy-sell/120699-wtb-hubcentric-wheel-spacers.html
and member FF Almeida responded he had a brand new set and to PM him.
I am quite honestly disappointed that this member straight up lied to me. When I opened the box today, and saw that they were clearly not hub or wheel centric and then to find there wasn't even lug nuts included...upon searching further, I found the paper with the warranty and return process for the spacers, which are for PE.Motorwerks that are sold on Ebay.
4 1" 5x150 to 5x150 Hubcentric Wheel Spacers Adapters for Toyota Lexus 14x1 5 | eBay
I paid $250 shipped, and these did not even cost him that much, they are $154.95 shipped from ebay and come with lugnuts.
I am hoping that he did not order these and saw what they were and then tried to unload them on another member, but it's looking that way.
I have already filed a PayPal claim, and stated that I want my $250 back, plus the $19.78 for shipping to ship them back to him, because I should not take the hit for him not being up front on what brand these really were.
I guess this is not a good month for the military members on TT getting scammed and ripped off.

and member FF Almeida responded he had a brand new set and to PM him.
he clearly states that they are from wheeladapter.com and I was completely upfront and honest on how I felt about the dealFF Almeida said:they are from wheeladapter.cm they cost me almost $400 brand new shoot me an off if interested i would just rather see them put to use than sitting the their box in my garageAbsolutGT said:Thanks for letting me know you have a set.
My offer would depend on brand, do you remeber where you bought them from?
eBay? wheel adaptor.com? bora? LRO?etc...
just let me know and we can go from there, thanks!
I threw out my offer and was shocked that he was willing to take my offer as I found new ones that were wheel and hub centric for less than $300FF Almeida said:I appreciate your honesty and i would like to recoup some of my cost but like i said i really would like to see these go to a good home. I can work with your offer. What is your zip?
AbsolutGT said:$400 ouch. I dont know how long ago you bought those and I dont know if you know this, but they dropped their price on their spacers to $365 shipped.
I do not want to be rude or even attempt to lowball a member of TT bc I know you'd want to attempt to recoup some of that money.
To be honest, I was looking at the trailsport spacers pretty heavily as a couple members had good luck with them and they are hub and wheel centric for a lot less $228 shipped.
I was hoping there was some members that had some used ones they took off after getting different wheels and lower offsets but yours are brand new! I'm done with aftermarket wheels after all the issues I had with fitment to vibrations with two different sets, so I'm back on the BBS wheels with 34's but just wanted them to flush up with my fender flares a little more.
I'm not looking to spend a lot of money just in case I don't like them, so I'm probably not going to go over the $228 mark.
thanks for offering them up to me though.

FF Almeida said:qouted 19.78 for shipping through usps which was cheapest of fedex. ups, and lazership. Lets call it $250 shipped and we have a deal it is a great price and like i said if you could get the use that it deserves then i dont care about the hit. You will not be disapointed. my paypal is: [email protected]
AbsolutGT said:Wow, really? 31909.
