Default Wheeloutletsd.com Is a scam

I have ordered a set of wheels from this site, i was dealing with a guy named Nas, anyway i ordered a set of Miro 111 and received a set of SD something, i contacted the Nas and he advised me that they are just as good, i asked him to send me center caps from MIro which i am still waiting on, its has been 3 month, the wheels where not balanced, and 2 of the wheels required 8oz and 7oz to be balance, bottom line he would not let me return the wheels and ended up in a negative, to beware of this site Wheeloutletsd.com

If you pay with credit card open a dispute with your cc company. they'll take care and recuperate your money.

I'm really sure he paid with CC cause he have to wait for it to be shipped.
Call your credit card company and open a claim. They will take care the metter

I'm not sure you can expect a perfect set of wheels for the price you paid. I think that is why it's called an outlet. Just like clothing outlet there is cosmetic or some sorts of defects and that's why it's cheaper than A merchandise.

Outlet does not however mean tell you your getting one thing, then when you get home the box contains a different product!

I'd be pissed! Call your CC company!

Also just because the company has the name outlet in it does not mean they are one. I know this as back in my teen days I worked at a wheel shop that had "outlet: in their name and they were not an outlet in any shape or form.

Thanks for the heads up OP. That's some really shady business practices, ordering one item and receiving an entirely different item in the mail and saying that item B is similar or just as good as item A.

Contact your credit card company and file a dispute claim to recoup your money back. Have the credit card company fight on your behalf.

Good luck and keep us updated.

Dam they are cheap, and thanks for the heads up. Call your credit card company they should be able to help. Well i'm guessing you paid with a credit card hope it wasn't Paypal. PayPal representatives don't help at all.
