Default My wheel/tire experience

After lurking this forum for awhile and doing research, I decided to get a set of OZ Ultraleggera's with Eagle F1's. I ordered them from Tire Rack last week and they arrived at my installer today. These were my first aftermarket wheels, so I was very excited to say the least.

After dropping off the car, I waited patiently for the call telling me it was done. The call came, but it seems a bit too soon. They asked me to come over and take a look at the 'problem'. I walked back over and saw the car on the platform with the new wheels on the back and only one on the front. After they showed me the wheel that 'wouldn't fit', I called Tire Rack and they had me read the part number on the back of the wheel and....

They sent the wrong wheel/tire. 3/4 ain't bad, right? So they had to put the stock rims back on and now we await the arrival of the CORRECT tire.

My advice is if you get a chance to look at the tires before they attempt to put them on - do so! Might save everyone a lot of time or trouble, but then so would sending what you ordered....

UPDATE:

Tirerack sent a new wheel by overnight shipping along with packaging to send back bad wheel. My installer put on the wheels and this is the result:





Now I have to do something about those calipers...
