ebay find -- FJ Cruiser Gun Metal Wheels

upon further inspection... the white cloth that comes on the wheel is torn in the same spot where the damage is. and there is white fibers from that cloth in the scratch? maybe they were damaged during shipment?

 

Definitely take pics of everything if you haven't already.

Can you post some pics here? How bad is the damage?

 

Here is the damage. Let me kno what you guys think. Should i try and get ups to pay for the damages?

 

I too can't wait for the rest of mine. Ordered mine on the 14th from Scott at Frank Toyota and got 2 wheels on the 15th (im in OC so shipping was literally overnite). The other 2 are lost by UPS So hopefully they turn up soon.

I would contact Scott at the dealership about those damages, good guy to work with. I think he's there from like 6am-2 or 3pm pacific time.

 

Here are my new rims and tires, great deal for 525$ and I went to the States to pick them up. Tires are BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO 265/75/16

 

I would try to call Scott first. See what he says.......good luck!

On a good note for me, all 5 of mine arrived in perfect condition.

Hey Mike, thanks for posting the pics of yours. I have the same color truck, but offroad. It gives me an idea of what to look forward to. I won't be installing them for a while. I am gonna put a lift on first.

 

Hey Mike looks good!

 

I'm thinking about 275/70 bfg t/a ko

 

Thanks for the input guys. I emailed Scott and sent him pictures and he is gonna file a claim with UPS. Hopefully it doesnt take long? I'll let yall know what happens.

 

Hmmmm, yeah those should be nice. I can't decide which tires I want....some of the M/Ts look soooooo good.

 

^^^I agree on the MT's looking sweet. Just a little more tire than i need! I think the t/a ko's will be plenty good for the off roading i do.

 

UPDATE: Well i got good news! after i emailed scott the pictures of the damaged wheel. he filed a claim with ups. I thought "great this is gonna take forever to get this resolved". So i emailed him back a couple hours later and asked him to let me know as soon as he knew about how long this was gonna take. He promply emailed me back saying that my replacement wheel was shipping out today!


EDIT: Scott just emailed me. I guess he thought he had two wheels left in the wharehouse, but someone had sold them and didnt tell him. Now i'm gonna hafta wait til he gets more in and they're on national backorder

 

Well that's good and bad news! Sorry about having to wait. How long does it take to restock them when they are on national backorder? Anybody know?

 

Scott said they have 17 sets on order. He also said they should start arriving in two weeks? That's put me getting another wheel at three weeks

 

Well i got another email from Scott today. He got 3 wheels in today! So my replacement is in the mail! I already got the tracking info so this time its for real! Should arrive at my house the 28th. I just wanna say to anybody thinking of ordering anything from Scott at Frank Motors. This guy is a real professional! He was super fast at replying to my emails and never once did i feel like i was gonna get screwed. He assured me it would be taken care of promptly and it was. This could have been a real negative experience if it wasn't for him just being a good person and taking care of his customer. Thanks Scott!

 

what's his email address? lol i sent an email to parts but scott and jason sound more promising

He's gonna have 16 sets coming in within the next couple of weeks. You can prepay and he'll ship them as soon as they arrive.

 

thanks!
