They are very small but they cost a penny to fix, the very reason I haven't.

And I am having an unbelievably bad experience dealing with customwheelsdirect.com. They are based in SoCal, I'd advise you not to work with them because if they've already made their purchase they are pretty stingy about refunding it. I just placed my order today. The situation is this: I ordered Mazzi Hulks, they said Hulks are out, but they have the exact same wheel from a different vendor who sells them for cheaper anyway, just not Mazzi. I took a look at the page with the wheel, it's the exact same. I forgot to ask about backspacing. Well I called back and asked to cancel my wheels upon finding out they have 5.5"-6" backspacing. He told me, "you're gonna have to figure out what you want to do, I can't just sell you the tires. It's a package deal." On their site I am paying the full price, $348/tire and he is telling me that is a package deal price, he is selling the tires to me below cost, they're losing money. So I'm supposed to believe they are making under $xx.00 or so for a near $3000 purchase. I am just pretty annoyed right now as I went ahead and kept my order. As soon as I mentioned I am going to need to cancel my tires, he started sighing and wimpering, "You're gonna cancel the wheels and tires?" "Why do you wanna do that?". I really enjoyed dealing with discounttiredirect.com and would do so if they had the tires. They were very polite and respectful, they returned my phone calls, they assigned a representative to me and I was able to call up all the time and talk about it.

He says they cost him $390/tire so he's losing money, where in the hell does he gain back that money. There is no way he makes that all back on the price of the wheels.

I may cancel my order from them, but I know I'm going to be given a hard time. Any advice on the quickest way to do so? I will gladly wait for discount tire direct to get the grapplers in, I'm not hassled for refunding or exchanging items and they're pretty quick, another place these guys fall short. Everytime I ask if they have something in, they take five minutes and put me on hold. Lastly, I asked about their return policy on the first call, they said it's a one way ticket. We pay $300 to ship it to northern california and if I return them it's another $300.

I guess we just characterize abuse in a different way.

Oh and believe me JJ, it's killing me. It's funny calling you that, it's my [nick] name too.

It will be lifted of course and they're buying it that way for a reason.

I'm assuming that you most likely used a credit card? If they are still awaiting the product's arrival then they shouldn't have charged your card. Just tell them to cancel your order and then call your credit card company, explain the situation, and tell them not to authorize any charges that they may try to make. Good luck.
