First the buyer got all the pics of the wheels and tires that I posted in the for sale ad AND he got pics before I shipped them. Secondly I paid the $92 extra in shipping for these after he negotiated a lower price.

You must be confusing me with one of the other potential buyers. I did not negotiate a price. I simply asked for a shipping quote to my Zip. you replied "How do you want them shipoed? Fedex is 212. I will pay all shipping over 150"
Seems like the negotiating was done by you.

Attached are the pictures he got. Yes I did only do a tread depth measurement on one of the rear tires. It is clear the rear tires are USED and I will admit that I measured one and took for granted that the other was likely the same depth as they came off the same customer car with the same number of miles. The fronts were like new but I also sent tread depth on those

During one of todays emails, you specifically told me you had measured both tires at the center.

Another MAJOR issue here is that all those silver dents WERE NOT on those wheels when they shipped. The seller did not notify me of any damage to the wheels or I could have done a FEDEX damage claim as each package was insured for $400.

I am not worried about the small rash spots. I figured thats the way they were sent. Its hard to see little things like that in picture. Once inspected in person, small nicks like that are obvious

I first offered that he could return these to me EVEN though I felt I provided HQ pictures showing the exact condition of the tires BEFORE he agreed to purchase. I had a line of people that wanted this set and a few more who were willing to pay almost 1k for the 18x8 fronts only.

All that said I still tried to work with him today and rather than inform me about his issues he asked repeatedly "please offer advice on how to proceed" so I offered return or $100 refund. No return negotiation, no conversation, just take it straight to the forum and post this under the guise of "not trying to bash the seller"

Cmon man

I stopped replying to your emails because I honestly didn't know how to proceed. You offered I pay the return shipping, which I felt was unfair. You also offered a $100 refund, which i also thought was unfair. Hence, me coming on here for advice from other fellow forum members.

So that means it was at 2/32nds or less when it was offered to you. Now not everyone knows the wear bars are 2/32nds but both of you should have noticed that. Take a look at the wear bar an inch above the sellers thumb. There is no tread above the wear bar. So it is 2/32nds or less.

It appears that you both missed the one rear tire condition before the sale was negotiated.

I'll say this is not a Couple of dollars, it's $650 if you take the guy that just posted 2 rears for example, you can't ask him to sell you one!
As the commercial says, you can't drive with 3 tires!
You enter the negotiation in good faith for 4 tires and wheels in good condition for the amount of $1650and you fulfilled your end of the bargain, he on the other hand never had such intentions as the facts shows, he figures possession is 9 tenths of the law, why should you now have to start all over with the extra expense and effort to find 1 used tire and then lightly sand and touch up the wheels, the TOTAL burden should be on him, period.
I would try the PP angle and nothing else, this guy has ***** to offer you $100 or refund you your money if you pay for the return shipping, why is it on you when HE LIED!
Happy Thanks Giving!

It's very easy to send tons of photos. The buyer has to be responsible for verifying condition in the photos. Just my 2 cents....

I would have, and now do, zero confidence in doing business with you. You could have offered to pay for return shipping, which is the right thing to do since you sold something under false pretenses. I mean, really. He gave you the opportunity to do the right thing and you offered a $100 discount. That is ridiculous.
