I tried that when I first had one that was cracked, the local dealer tried, but PCNA wouldn't budge.:(

Is it just me, or does it seem like the internet is full of fraud?

I sincerely hope that what happened to me doesn't happen to anyone else. I also know whom to deal with in the future.

Jason, I am going to call you first if I ever need anything special, no more Pelican classifieds for me.

They look fantastic, Chris. I'm so close to calling Jason myself.
As soon as I off my old daily driver...

Chris,

Those wheels look great. Congrats.

I don't think the POs knew about the cracks, some people just don't look that close and all were stock, not chromed.

Wheels look great!
Now it's time to drop her down a couple inches! :eek: :D :D

Well, I don't think he knew either but a gesture of good faith would have been expected as I have said before but he never even attempted to contact me other than an email saying no warranty and a post on this thread saying he would try to make good.

I reiterate that buyer said these wheels were perfect. If they were perfect, this thread would have never have been started and I would have still been enjoying my first set of wheels. I pay the price in this case both monetary and timewise just trying to get what I set out for originally.

So needless to say, I am not pleased with him as a person or as a Pelican.

By the way, thank you to everyone for the compliments and the assistance. I never heard back from PCNA so I assume its not something they deem an issue. But life goes on.

Well, I'm glad you're happy Chris! Those look sooooo good on your car. :D




As an aside, you're a forgiving guy. You got a bum deal and lost a lot of money. If I'd been the seller, I would've been so embarrassed over the bad wheel that I would have taken that one back. Integrity is what I call it.

But that's just me.

I think this thread shows where the classified section is heading towards. While most of the members of the BBS are outstanding, there’s a new wave of members who post in the classified section who have no integrity and would rather see the $$$.

This also applies to those who PM on done deals and EBay auction type tactics in the classified section, no integrity and hide behind PM’s.

Whoa! What's the underlying story with that (other than the obvious)?
:eek:

Byron decided to take those tires on the street and apparently the rear came out while taking a corner with the utmost of safety in mind and the rim gently kissed the curb.

Hey Chris- Glad it all is over with...a bumpy road to say the least :-)
Anyway, what size is on your car(the red sc)?? are those 9x16 on the rear and 7x16 on the front? Is so, or tell me what size fuchs and please also tell me the tire size. Also is the car stk ride height?
THAT CAR LOOKS PERFECT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COLOR, CORRECT OE FUCHS FOR AN SC................ droooooooooooooooool

Glad (I hope) your happy now. Now drive it as you wish...

Re: fuchs 9 inch wheel
 

Larry,

I still have the other good wheel, I am going to pick it up this morning from Al Reed's place along with the bad 16 x9 and my 15s.

Chris

However, not an SC, no SCWDP for me. She is an 84, one of the last ones made for that year. Those are now 16 x9s and 16 x7s up front and the tire sizes are 245 45 R16s in back and 205 50 R16s up front. She came with 15 x 7s and 8s which I believe were special requested by the original purchaser of the car. Nearly all the options available. Car had been lowered and adjusted for the look of my old wheels with were much taller.

Nicely put, Dave. But OUCH, that looks like it had to painful. After this ordeal, I don't want to touch the wheels again except for cleaning or tires.

Chris,

Thank you for the kind words.

Our standard is perfection or nothing!

I appreciate the opportunity as well as the trust instilled!

Enjoy your Porsche 911 Targa – Drive it hard and enjoy!

Again Thank you for believing in me! My pride is taking care of my fellow Porsche 911 Owners!

Jason
