Well they are here in town... Got to UPS at 10:09 am and i'm still not getting them till tommorow waiting sucks...
Thanks man.. It's got a 350 actually... while I'm a die hard Ford Fan when it comes to Ford vs Chevy... The Rail Jobs with Chevy power tend to hold their value better... so it was the better investment...
Yeah I could see that on a deep dish... yeah you wouldn't really see a change on the concave... Gonna Run Staggered...

actually.. after speaking to karkraze.. your math is actually incorrect.
my 20x9.5 +12 will be the same as 20x10.5 +25 if you compare poke with poke.
Old- New
Diameter 661mm - 661mm
Circumference 2076.6mm - 2076.6mm
Poke 108.7mm - 108.4mm
Inset 132.7mm - 158.4mm
Speedo error 0% - 0%
Reading at 30mph 30mph - 30mph
Reading at 60mph 60mph - 60mph
Ride height gain 0mm - 0mm
Arch gap loss 0mm - 0mm
now below is a 10.5 +38 would look like vs a 9.5 +12

is the whole wheel painted? or did you get a polished lip style?
also i would do a charge back on the card. Accept nothing but excellence, do not take it as is.

If the damages are just light scratches you may be able to buff it out and call it a day.

Can you post pics of the damage? The cardboard & wrap method is the only way i've ever shipped/recieved wheels and i've never had any issues - maybe the finish is more delicate on these.

Oh wow, so they didn't wrap them in sets of two with the rims facing each other and cardboard in the middle and on the outsides...ouch! I packed up my last set that way and it held up great.
Good luck, hopefully you can get it resolved to your liking in a timely manner.
It's gonna look dope though when done!

I agreed with Alexander,when I sold my wheels I swrink wrap the entire wheel and tire and after I cover it with front and back cardboard for more protection and got delivered without any issues. I also use big " CAUTION" stickers all over the wheel and insured them as well. Do you know if the seller bought insurance? Hope you resolve the issue. If you think it can be fix by buffing it out maybe the seller can give you a partial refund for your trouble.

Plus the part that pisses me off is I asked the guy how they were going to be packed on my first contact before I ever made an offer... he said in a box with towels over the face and surrounded in foam... Thats what needed to be done and what was expected since thats what I was told... That would of solved the issue...

Update on the saga, I emailed him several times when it happened no responce all weekend... So I started an eBay case about an hour ago which in return locked up all funds in his paypal account... He quickly resolved the issue and made a partial refund of the amount we wanted. I requested a bit more he came back with a lower offer and we met in the middle at the amount I actually wanted. So it all worked out...

They'll be up soon... Would take some today but it's raining for the third day in a row here in FL we've even got Flash Flood and Tornado Warnings... I'm gonna try to take a few good shots while it's at stock height this week since several people have asked how the Vossen's look without being dropped. Hoping by the weekend to recieve the springs and install them... Then we'll go do some shots for sure since the project will slow down for a while...

Well pics didn't happen before the springs, They got here yesterday earlier than expected and I couldn't wait took about 6.5 hours worked well into the night but it's down low and looking right. For anyone attempting this yourself it took a 4 foot pry bar and an extra set of hands to get the rears in and out... I gotta talk to some people who have done the install themselves and see if I missed a step or two to make the rears easier...

Here's one I snapped with the phone the other day in the rain... Wheel is dirty but it shows pretty well...
#106
Thanks for posting. I will likely go with something a little more subtle like silver or black on both the rotors and calipers. Maybe silver/gray on the rotors and black on the calipers. Who knows?

Thanks! Yeah from stock to that in just a couple of months...
Yeah man, I wanna do a double shoot with the pair of them if you're down... We'll have to find a nice sunny day and get them both cleaned up... or I can pull out the big studio lights and do something at night...
