Bad experience with wheels4car.com
I had a bad experience with wheels4car that I thought I'd share, to keep everyone else from making the mistake...
I originally bought a set of RSL Mase wheels from them on December 2nd. The company (ie, some fat slob sitting in his basement running a drop-ship business) was supposed to email me within 48 hours as to the status of the order, whether it was in stock, whatever. 3 days later, I hadn't heard anything, so i emailed him and asked what was going on. No response, I figured the wheels were on their way (they were supposed to take a week to ship) so i just tried to ignore it. Well, around two weeks later, I still hadn't heard anything, i had emailed the guy three times, at both the sales address of wheels4car.com and his paypal address. I began looking and noticed that there was no contact information anywhere (besides an email address) on the whole damn site. I finally called paypal (i could not file a dispute online, as i had used a credit card instead of my account to order) who placed a claim on the order. Finally, 2 days later, I've received an email from paypal stating that the seller has acknowledged a refund, but the funds have not yet transferred over. I still haven't received an email from the actual seller.
Here's to hoping the money actually gets transferred, and the seller rots in hell. Don't ever deal with wheels4car.com.

Wow, I cant believe you actually clicked the purchase button on a site that looks like that. Only buy from reputable online sources. Good thing you paid with a credit card. Chances are youll get your money back, but it might take a while.

Though i had looked around beforehand, and not seen a lot of complaints, so i figured it was another Joe Schmoe dropship business, and that the company would just bounce the wheels over to me no problem. Wrong. :PGood news is, Paypal finally got the funds and sent me an email saying the money was re-credited it to the credit card. a day later, it showed up for certain, so everything's good now.
