Default nothing happens without a flaw

so I find a buyer for my si's... he buys them for $400 with 195/55/r15 sumitomo tires with 80%+ tread (they're 4-5 months old). All are great condition.

I also get his old steelies, so I'm rolling combat right now, but I have a set of buddy club rims on the way.

we did the wheel trade at night... I wish I did it in the day...

one tire has HORRIBLE camber wear. metal threads are showing :eek3:

another rim isn't the correct size. all 4 wheels are 13's, 4x100, with the same size tires. But the center ring is too small. I didn't realize this shit till after the transaction...

I called him up, and the best he could say was "sorry" :eh:

ah well, I guess I had it coming....

I always hated dealing with "kids" when it came to Honda parts, for exactly this reason. They're about as reliable as... uh... I don't know; they're not very reliable!

That's messed up. He shoulda made it clear before the deal, and you should have checked

But that's why whenever I sell things, I mention every nick or nack...

they looked fine to me. I didn't drive my car till the next day.

that tire with the wires showing looks great otherwise, but the wear is on the inside. He insisted the wear was fine. I guess my first problem was my trusting nature....

But that's why whenever I sell things, I mention every nick or nack...
you're alot like me. its called having a conscience :goodjob:
