Please elaborate.

[dnomyar]

yes, please elaborate. i would like to know why you didn't like dealing with them because i was going to buy some wheels from them.

Sorry for the delayed response. Well its been a while now but I remember in the limited time we spoke, it was a PITA to deal with them. They were selling a set of Watanabes RS8s and I called in, I believe he priced them at $850 or so. I let him know that if he were willing to let them go for $775, since the lip was scratched on two of them, id be up there the next day. He wouldnt budge on the price and insisted that I come up before we have any further dealings. Being as wheelchoice is over an hour north of me, I dont really have time to go there and haggle further with him so no big deal, I let it go. He said others wanted to buy it asap anyways.

Well about a week goes by and those SAME wheels are on ebay now. Im high bidder at 550 when I realize, theres a reserve, wonder what it could be set on :rolleyes: I bid up to 750 or so and call him and let him know im the high bidder and if hed like to settle on a fair price and end the auction early. Answer is - no. Then whats the reserve set on? 900. Well, needless to say, the wheels did not sell on ebay either.

Time goes buy again and I see an item, Mazdaspeed wheel going for $300. I let him know id pick up for 270-280? and he denies it, saying he'll use it himself if it doesnt sell. The wheel doesnt sell. Three weeks later, the wheel is still on ebay selling at 270, fuck that.

I understand thats a part of business and that hes looking out for his own interest but for $20 bucks or in the case of the wheels $75? If he would have complied a bit and sold the wheels a little lower, we would have had a pretty good deal for the both of us IMO and I would have definetly gone on to purchase the MS wheel from him in turn, potentially making up that slack he cut me for the wheels.

I just wasn't a fan of the shady pricing I guess. Bottom line for me was that he could have easily made long term customer out of me for a little more support on his end.

Very Nice, I almost got them. but they dont clear Z Brakes... so no thanks!

[kazuo]

Those rims have been on and off of ebay for like a month or so. I wonder if they'd clear Zbrakes with a nice spacer??

That is wierd that you all have had bad experiences with wheelchoice. Joji is a really nice and easy going guy. The prices for their wheels arent horrible, they don't make that much off the wheels they sell, you have to remember that they have to pay shipping and what not to transport them overseas...blah blah..you get the idea. I don't know who you dealt with, but it dosn't sound like the wheel choice that I know of. Sorry you had a bad experience, maybe try dealing with someone else at the store?
