Default I'm about to kill somebody...

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?

the 315's will fit, but might bulge a little. It wont look rediculous, but youll notice.
How much did you pay for the rear tires btw?

I got the rear tires for a steal...found the pair brand new on eBay for $425.

But on a side note...so is it worth sending them back or should i just keep these?

Wow that is a good deal. Well its up to you, i mean i would send them back and bitch for a discount or something, but the tires will fit on the 18x10's. I know it sucks to have to wait even longer, but youll be glad you did in the long run.
