Guess what I bent the metal piece in, got the tires to fit properly, but when I put the car in drive it would not move, so i gave it some gas and my wheels were stuck to my brakes, destroyed the paint on my calipers, and knocked black chrome chips off the two fronts wheels.
Guess I need two new front wheels and a set of spacers, wish I had been told that before, pictures will be up in a few hours.

Poor Rims Chipped all around like this on the front two wheels on the inside of the spokes, which is still visible and it will cause the rest to peel........hope we can fix this Mike.
Yup its rubbing
Ugh all that hardwork on Friday
Even the inside of the wheels took some beatings, definitely need two new ones and this wasn't my fault because I didn't know
I'm still pretty mad, usually when you buy new wheels, they are suppose to bolt up without a problem especially if they are made for my bodystyle..........ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Dam that sucks. I ordered a set of rims from Mike also. Maybe his cheaper wheels just don't have the right offset or something. New rims should just bolt right on with out all this trouble. I wonder if I should cancel my order and just get the better rims from American Muscle.

I'm 99% sure you guys will not have any problems like this... Most likely this was a mix up when they shipped the wheels out and he got the wrong offset of the same rims.... I've had 3 sets of wheels from Mike so far and never a problem, and MANY close friends that are pleased with his wheels... I'm sure he will make this situation right!

My black chrome is peeling behind the lugs. Idk if thats normal, or if it will cause the rest of the wheel to peel down the road? Its behind all the lugs on all the wheels, so i hope its not a big deal..
