Poor buying experience with NJSpeeder

[Mike]

oh absolutely, i wasnt trying to absolve him at all, more trying to say that timmay was probably CONVINCED they were 27s and didnt even think to look.......

i tried to say it in my original post, and probably didnt do a good enough job of it. everyone here knows i know tim, and thats why i only wanted to comment on somthing that i know first hand

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Sorry to hear about this man, I dont know either one of you but it sounds like your getting jerked around. Ive been in similar situations in the past and Ive come to the conclusion that on some occasions its just easier to buy the parts new from a dealer/shop. The money saved sometimes isnt worth the trouble or grief.

Josh, the tires in question are 26x9.5x15 Hoosier QTPs, right?

If they are the QTPs mentioned above, then he hasn't even had those tires nearly that long. They were originally mine, and I sold them to him recently since I figured he would be in a position to use them sooner than I would. Not sure that he has even had a 27" race tire sitting around recently. I'm sure it was just a mistake on his part.

My opinion on this is if Tim didn't clear it up within 2 days one way or another then this guy is getting jerked around for whatever reason....That's my .02 take it or leave it....

[jims69camaro]

all i am saying is that he is a stand up guy. i can't believe he would knowingly mislead someone. i also can't believe it has taken this long to work this out, either.

i don't know if it's been a poor buying experience or not. you're upset because you feel you've been jerked around. you probably have a small chunk of change involved in this transaction, and that normally is all it takes for things to get skewed out of perspective. i don't know if i would try to sully someone's reputation for some lugnuts...

Tim is a good guy but people make mistakes. The OP isn't calling him a scam artist, an a-hole or a lying sack of crap. He's venting that he was mislead on the tire size, wasn't given lug nuts and was jerked around on meeting to get the parts and is being jerked around on the lugs.

We all know Tim, we know what type of person he is but like I said, people make mistakes. I think the OP has done a good job in venting while keeping it free of any personal attacks and insults. I'd feel the same way if this happened to me.

somebody must know where he lives....stop by and see if hes around.

so it looks like im not getting the Lugs so ill be buying them Tuesday. i really wanna thank everyone for the support and especially cbrrmike for lending a hand in finding out if i was actually getting them. Not really the result i was hoping for but atleast i know that im going to have to buy them.
