I have this situation, not a huge deal. I was looking to match up a pair of Fenton Hawks I had and I put out an ad on another board, member responds and wants 75 plus shipping. I express interest and he sends pics. The rims are painted but the centers look good. I tell him I would probably take them but I have to wait on some money to come in before I pull the trigger. I kind of decide to let the deal fade after pondering on it some but before I can tell him that he sends me an email saying hurry up and pay as he already has them boxed up and the shipping paid. Well now my bad but I didn't say no straight up (or yes) but the dam things show up a couple days ago so I buy some stripper and remove the 1/2 inch paint and the rims are pitted real bad. I suppose I should just pay for them and be done but I feel kinda manipulated into paying too much for some junk. What would you do?

That's a little rude and it sounds like he forced them on you. Not sure what I'd do. How much was the shipping?

W/B, Ship 'em back and tell him they are pitted all to 'ell under the paint he sprayed on and he can keep 'em. I am sure i would just paint them black and run them myself :) We appreciate your posts W/B, wish more members would contribute as frequently.
 
I agree with the ship them back thoughts....If you were gonna let them go anyway. Yeah you'll be out the shipping, but at least you don't have useless pieces and out more money
 
Shipping was $25 so I would have $105 into them. I have turned down better ones for less. I am, well cheap. I just don't have a lot of extra cash, which shouldn't affect what's right or wrong. Since the chrome on my other 2 isn't that great maybe I will see if I can get just the rims blasted and powder coated without messing up the spokes.
