Sometime around 07/01 i made the mistake of odering wheels and tires from victoria tires and wheels based out of huntington park california. They were to come occording to their website mounted and balanced. The total price including s&h was $1915.45.
The wheels and tires were being sold at a local dealer for cosiderably higher, and according to the salesman, could not believe they could be sold at such a low price even after i showed him the print out from victoria tires and wheels unless they possibly were damaged or not as what they appeared. I thought maybe he just wanted a bigger profit. Anyway the order was going to be charged on my visa and i felt i would be protected.
My order arrived on 07/19, but only after i agreed to pay $415.00 cod because victoria tires and wheels could was only allowed to charge $1500.00 on credit cards for some reason or other. Now i am only protected for $1500.00. Hello mistake number two!
Unfortunately my order arrived uncomplete and it took several calls and days later before they were ready for installation.
Its now 10/09 the wheels and tires are defective as i have been at three dealers who have all informed my of the same thing. Bad wheels, bad tires, no warranties because they were not bought locally. Victoria tires and wheels is telling me to much time has expired, of course i finally got my receipt 09/27. And i have receipts dating back to when the tires were originally mounted on 08/01 stating they were bent.
Victoria tires and wheels is refusing to admit any fault. My credit card will probably be credited $1500.00 but i will be out $415.00 which i did pay cod. Plus any additional money to get the wheels sent back to california. Seems this is why they only will allow you to charge so much on your credit card so they get their wheels and tires back to sell again, you lose what you pay cod plus any additional monies you may have to incur dealing with this people.
The manufacturer is no help because the warranties cover only the purchaser, who happens to be victoria tires and wheels. Seems like they have a nice little scam going. I which i would have bought locally. Would have saved some money.
