Air Dynamic Racing Bogus
So here I am all excited about buying a new Wheel and tire package...
I find a wheel and tire package on the internet by this company called AIR DYNAMIC RACING. They 16lb wheels and came in the right off set. Kinda a novice to the whole tire shopping expirence, I asked the salesmen (name was Z) if the tires that came on the package would be the correct diameter. He kindly replyed yes thoes would be fine for your WRX (first mistake trusting a internet salesmen). He said they will arrive in about 10-14 days. I offered to pay extra to have them here in 2 days. He said ok...
After 4 days pass I call back AIR DYNAMIC RACING to get a tracking number, they give me tracking numbers that Fed Ex Never recieved... Meaning they forgot to put them on the loading dock. After I talk to Z to get them shipped AGAIN. He kindly offers to refund my shipping costs and reship them ASAP.
In 3 days the wheel/tire package arive and guess what.... Not only where they missing the custom lug set that I HAD to buy, they were 205/40/r17 which I later learned would not be big enough for a WRX.
Furious I called back Z to figure out what he was trying to pull. He told me he would call back tomorrow after he talked with his manager. 2 Days pass and I hear nothing... I just called them back to talk to a manager, tell him the whole story. And the reply I get is "Sorry sir but i cant give you your money back"...... WTF.... He says even though I paid extra for shipping... ....Its still a cost they have to cover... are you kidding me. And then he says... "Well I guess I can give you the money to cover the extra set of lugs I had to buy". This guy was obviouly an idiot and I told him that I was extremly disatisified with his Lieing salesman, and his horrible customer service. He then said... "Okay have a nice day" and hung up on me.
It is now my sole mission to post on every car website I can find and tell people not to purchace from this company!!
Sorry this is so long but hell... Someone is at work bored and has nothing better to do then read new posts... Holla if you hear me...
Lessons Leared:
1. Always do enough research to know exactally what you want.
2. Dont order tire wheel packages... its worth the extra money to just buy quality.
3. Always eat your vegitables.

sorry to hear that. but it does say on there website what size tires come with the packages. regardless of what the guy said, they sent you what they said they would. you should always know what you want/need before ever ordering anything.
although it doesn't sound like they as a company handled the situation properly though.
always do your research first. if you don't you always end up getting screwed

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I've never heard of that company before.
I've had only great dealings with Tire Rack, which is also an official i-Club vendor. Our Tires and Wheels forum is sponsored by Tire Rack but they also have a representative that gives friendly advice for more general questions (like what size tires fit a given wheel).
I've also had a good experience with my local Costco.

Well, man, try to find what kind of car the wheels/tires WILL fit and try selling them on a forum for that vehicle or on ebay or something, then use the money you get back to buy something from an iclub vendor.
If you contact s-squared in Rancho, they should be able to find you some nice wheels for a rockin price, and sybir can hook you up on tire mounting through Costco

I got Les Schwab here in Sac to buy the "wrong tires" for a whole sale price, and ended up buying the Toyo Proxes 4 225/45/r17....So I kinda lucked out there...
Sonic you saw the finished product at the Sac Weekly meet last weekend... I just now figured out they werent going to refund any money
