did you know about the bent sensor when you received them?

 

I had no idea the sensor was bent.

 

I know nothing about that vendor good or bad but just bought new
tsw interlargos from a local vendor butler tire. They know their
stuff, know corvettes, it may cost an extra hundred but some things
you just dont buy on line. Just my opinion.

 

Dennis has it covered, but I even have some forged wheels on my Chrysler 300 that has 2 holes in it for the tpms, so a lot of wheels are being made that way now. In this case though I think the vendor should help. If you are selling a wheel you should know if it will cause any issues when mounting.

 

Interesting, do you have pictures; this is the first time I hear about this as well. I would like to have a more clear vision of how the damage might have happened.

 

First Problem is the place you posted this, this is not the proper place to post a dispute with a vendor or a member.

Down in the forum list is Transactions Feedback, it will give your post the attention it deserves and allow the proper moderators to review and research your case.

 

damilleniumboy- I do not have pictures.

OKZ06- I have been on the forum for well over 10 years and I never even knew Transaction feedback was on the site......

 

I've been very active here for 12 years an I never knew a transaction forum was even here. AS far as I am concerned, posting a concern about a vendor in open forum has always been appropriate as long as it is done in a way to allow the member to post his issue with out mentioning the vendor until the vendor had a chance to respond. We as members need to know that problems do exist between vendors and members, how it is handled is also very important. If the problem occurred with a C5 member then its appropriate that it be displayed in the C5 forum. Most of us would never go to a transaction forum to read about issues in every forum. WE as members of this forum are the important people. Vendors come here and pay for our attention. The forum embraces vendors because they pay the bills. we as members have the responsibility to make issue we encounter in this forum available to other members. Transparency is an important part of any relationship. Good and Bad issues should be ok in any forum as long as it is done with respect.

This at least explains the mystery of why I have been seeing several wheel photos lately on the forum with 2 valve stems!

 

I agree with you ET and feel that a thread like this should not be deemed inappropriate, however in order for our mods or vendors to be able to help out/get to the bottom of a issue the c5 forum moves very fast and does not guarantee the proper people will see it.

 

A guy posts that he is having a problem. Doesn't mention the vendor.. contacts the vendor letting him know that his issue has been placed in open forum and post the thread url. its then the vendors job to field the dispute and make it right. that should be the end of the story.. the mods and CF admin does not need to get involved. The vendor can then post his side of the story in the same url if the vendor sees it a different way. We as members have a right to see both sides of the story. Just because a buyer has an issue, it doesn't necessarily have to be the vendors fault. Ill try to tell a quick story. about 8 or nine years a go a Vendor ( Manufacturer ) new to CF offered some fantastic looking wheels, My self and many others were very interested in the design. the Vendor offered a group purchase but all the money had to be placed up front. 3500 dollars, this was 8 or nine years ago... 60 people bought into this GP ( group purchase ). two years later some members still did not receive their wheels. The vendor was finally thrown off the corvette forum, which is very hard to do, considering the corvette forum is dependent on vendors to pay the bills. Myself and many others followed the GP and Myself and many other decided Not to go with this vendor who was actually the manufacturer of these wheels. The point here is without open forum updates and problems , many more members could fall victim to these types of practices. The wheel manufacturer is still in business and make very nice wheels and they have also got their act together from a customer service point of view.

 

I would love Alex to jump on here and post. I am patiently waiting for a resolution of some sort.

 

The Transaction and Feedback forum was created last year after months of research by Savewave and the moderating staff in an effort to get all the disputes into a single section. The idea was to give everyone one place to post disputes, good dealings and resolutions so members didn't have to look everywhere when deciding who to buy from.

There was an announcement made when the section went live. Perhaps we should post another one.

Despite what some people think no disputes are ever deleted although some members and vendors have been for their bad dealings.

If any member needs help with a dispute they can contact any of the moderating staff and we will do our best to help you reach the vendor or member you are having an issue with in an effort to get it resolved.

Ordinarily I would move this to the T&F section but in doing so I would have to remove much of the information posted here that is helpful to the community in regards to disputes that I think I will leave it alone and encourage the OP to start a new thread in that section.

 

The dispute between ECS and Spartan1 was very much deleted from the forum... Multiple threads.

 

yes, and do you know why??

because he came on here as a new member with a legal dispute not a dispute from a transaction conducted on this forum. He came only with accusations and not facts. The matter was being handled in the courts and wasn't going to be disputed here.

If you read the rules posted for disputes they are clear...if you do not follow them

it is simple.



closing this one as the OP has posted a dispute in the T&F section and I sent a message to the vendor to respond to the complaint.
