thats sucks man. That seems to happen to me everytime I order something. I would say if you have to convince yourself really hard to keep them then don't. Call them and tell them to make the situaion right. Its your money man.

Send 'em back and get the 10.5"s
Not only do the tires fit better, but will move the wheel outward a bit toward the fender and fills the well out a little better. Go to the trouble, you will not regret it in the end. Compromising sucks!

So to give an update on the situation. I called stage 3 motor sports today to ask them what happened with my order. Instead of saying sorry, the guy trys to convience me that there's no such things as "true" 18x10.5 wheels and that 18x10" wheels they sent are basically the same thing. The nerve of this piece of s*it was unbelievable, instead of saying sorry, he trys to blame stuff on the vender and tells me it's only a .5" difference in width and that most people don't care about minor details like that. The worst part is, is that they charged me the same for the 18x9 and 18x10.5 wheels as the 18x9 and 18x10 wheels that they sent me, so i got no refund. (he claimed the the wheels they sent me were better quality or some bs). Bottom line, never ordering from these pieces of s*it again (even though the guy did say he'd "hook me up" with my next order) Unbelievable!!

So about a month ago I decided to order myself a set of 18x9 and 18x10.5 saleen replca wheels from stage 3 motor sports(bday present to myself). Due to my luck they were on back order (b/c of the 10.5 wheels)and they told me I'd have to wait a month for the wheels. So after a month of waiting and tracking the package the last couple of days the wheels finally arrive. I get home from work excited as heck to finally get my belated birthday present and sure enough they send me the wrong f*ing sized wheels. At that point I was ready to start braking windows at my house and kill someone. I mean i just waited a month to get a set of 18x10.5 wheels to go w/my tires and sure enough they send me a set of 18x10 wheels(which they had in stock this whole time). So basically i'm really pissed at this point and wondering if i should just keep the 18x10 wheels to avoid a whole the whole ordeal of sending the wheels back and a waiting another month or so to recive the right wheels. The reason I really wanted 18x10.5 wheels is b/c the rear tires i bought are 315/30/18 michellin pilots. Will the 18x10's work/look fine with these tires or should i send the wheels back and pray i get the right wheels this time around?
