SEE POST 5 issue reoccurred.

Bought a set of Starke wheels from 88 motors with countless emails and eBay mail they sent me two fronts as the ones they sold me were not correct from the day I bought them as I even called their shop while at les Schwab and had them talk to the installer about this. After a month or so it got to the point they were to dangerous to drive 40+ miles.

Long story short they kept my deposit and sent me some pics of a damage/bent lip wheel when none of the wheels had damage when I shipped them from UPS.

As of now I will be contacting UPS, PayPal, eBay, and Les Scwab even forwarded the company my build thread to see pics I post every week of my car hopefully that's proof enough that my wheels didn't look like the attached pic they sent me telling me I wouldn't get my deposit back. It's not about the money but about people fucking around like this. I'll be calling UPS and Les Scwab for surveillance because UPS packaged them back for me and Les Scwab installed and removed them for me.

Will see what happens but just for everybody else I dealt with Shai, and Johnny (primarily)

I bought from both 88rotors and irotors, these companies are ran by crooks. I bought some brakes for them for my previous cars back in the day and they reply with some non-sense and don't bother giving any shit for their customers.

Problem resolved UPS at fault they refunded me my deposit, shipping, and mounting of new wheels at Les Schwab. Turns out UPS shipped them incorrectly and did some damage upon shipping.

UPDATE: 8-23-14

So all 4 of these wheels are bent as fuck. Car hasn't been tracked or hard core driven on harsh roads. They aren't normal bends as I was told at my buddies tire shop but bends in need barrel which cannot be seen by the naked eye only on the road force machine.

I have them removed off my car and I have been messaged by other forum members that they are having the same issues yet 88 Rotors are not refunding the wheels but accusing us for damages. Which is weird most people had this issue right out of the box.

Probably 6 or 7 from the forum that have hit me up in PM's asking me the same question. A few had bought them and had the same symptoms as my car
