So, I bought a new wheel....

From eBay, and they sent the one listed here the part # matches and all that. The thing is, it looks different than the ones on my car. As you can see, the one in the picture is recessed around the lug nut holes, the ones on my car are not. Are there 2 different styles of the Cutlass 5 spokes?

They sent you one that won't fit......

 

Why yes, yes they did. I'm waiting for an email back on instructions on sending it back. Of course they make the customer pay return shipping on a mistake THEY made....

Frustrating I know.

 

I bought a new front bumper for my car on ebay once. After specifying 1000 times I need a 4 door, they still sent a 2 door. And I had to pay to ship it back (Greyhound $25) :neutral:

 

Good luck getting that straightened out

You should have just emailed them and said you haven't got your cutlass rim yet! :lol:

 

Tracking numbers man. UPS. Only took 3 days to get here from Pennsylvania. This is what I did to my last wheel. I was on my way home from work Christmas eve and some asshole came into my lane and ran me into a curb at 45. I got home, and on Christmas day, I am sitting watching tv and I hear air escaping from somewhere, and I look outside any I see the front pass. side of my car slowly lowering itself. Merry Christmas to me....

Why won't it fit? Cause the offset is so different? But i've been thinking. If it'll fit, I was gonna order 3 more....or try to get my hands on some 1st gen GP wheels, cause I kinda like them. Or do you guys think I should stick with the CS 5 spokes?

I saw that pic a while back when you first posted about your neighbor. I like how the GP wheels look, and it's kinda where I got the idea. Do you like them better? The GP wheels that is....

In all honesty, the only reason I got rid of them was because I wanted to keep my 1994 original and my van looks better with CS 5 spokes. I loved the way they looked on my 1992 though.

I sent the wrong one back, now they say that they don't see a difference between the wrong wheel that they sent me, and the one on my car. I beg to differ.
