Hi Damian,
We didn't sell wheels to Sarnie, he's just upset because he now has a Lambo
The LE37s we sent you first time round were higher offsets than you wanted (obviously we didn't know this until you received them) they still would have fitted though! We did change them for another set for you, no hassle...
Its quite acceptable by Japanese standards (as they are more conservative than the US market) to have anything from a +17 to +35 on a Zed though, just most people *prefer* the look of a +22. Unfortunately its not available for all designs though.
Regards,
Gaz.
Lets not play all naive here, Gaz. As you are in your own words "experts on wheel fitments and offsets and advise many UK traders on this" I would have (perhaps stupidly) expected that you wouldn't try and peddle me wheels that would look rubbish on a Zed because of their offsets - a simple search of this forum, the OC or any of American sites confirms that consensus. Reliance upon your "expertise" didn't work for me, did it?
I then had to take photos of the wheel boxes as you clearly didn't trust me to advise you of the offsets of the wheels that you yourselves supplied. I had to return them to my office 30 miles away in a Micra and then they weren't picked upon on the day agreed by your courier.
You sold me some Enkei's in replacement which came with 3 rather than 4 valves and a set of spigot rings in the wrong size. This I found out after I had driven the 40 miles odd to Demon Tweeks in Wrexham to get them fitted. Thankfully DT were able to cobble something together to get me on the road. You sent me a second set and I returned to DT only to find they still didn't fit - another wasted trip. You can imagine my complete disbelief when set number 3 didn't fit either...
I eventually got rings that fit from Adam @ Z1 (thank you Adam ) and ended up paying for a complete set of steel valves from Demon Tweeks - there was no offer from Envy to meet this cost.
I'm afraid "no hassle" doesn't really describe the experience for me. I have refrained from posting this sorry tale to date but the suggestion that you are "insulted" by Sarnie's comments forced my hand. BTW Sarnie didn't buy the wheels because I advised him of what were suitable sizes and offsets for a Zed, something I would have expected you to do.
