Sounds frustrating, but it's on the inside, and why not just clean em up? You can sand & polish out the scratches. They also get scraped up when you catch a rock between the caliper and the rim.

Because the front runners are shot = No good! Need new tires. I cant even run them. And when you ask someone if there is any damage to the wheels and they tell you they are perfect I expect better than what I got. Rather than just accept it I would rather buy brand new wheels. I should have known better! I can post more pictures tomorrow but all its going to do is **** me off more.

Sux man.. I just went thru this crap myself. I bought some AFR 225s that "only have 1500 miles and never sprayed" for $2k off of LS1.tech. Well as soon as I got them, I found out that 3 of the chambers had holes burned in between the valves and 2 more were cracked.. Pics conveniently did not show this damage. After a bit of haggling I was lucky to get my money back.. After that experience, only new stuff for me if it's high dollar parts.

Hopefully you can get your loot back bro...

I hear you. I mean I understand the upper ball joint not being properly clearanced but I cant even use the front runners. But tell me about it. Dont ship me wheels 1000's of miles away and I get to find out when there sitting at the shop. Tires are gone from the inside. I guess I will have to post pics to prove it. This is a dam shame and your right! I should have listened to Danny. Ive just bought so many good used parts here I didnt even think twice. And Ive sold a ton of parts with no problems or BS like this!

Jeffrey always struck me as a good guy - had fun gabbing at the track rentals back in the day when 9s and 10s was still fast.

I'm sure you'll get it sorted out.
