In no way bashing wheelreplicas or the seller I bought them from on Ebay. Just letting everyone know what happened to me and my 18x10 bullit rims.
Okay I purchased some 18x10 bullit rims off of ebay in January. Had tires mounted. Two days later came out and one of my tires was almost flat. So I put air in it and took it to the shop where I had them mounted. Told them to try and find the leak. To no avail they couldn't find anything. So I took it to a different shop. Same thing... nothing.
Well I have been working alot of OT and hadn't really had much time to worry about it so I would just put air into every other day and kept a good eye on it.
This weekend I went home for Easter and asked my Dad if he could help me find the leak. So we get the soap and water out and start slapping it on the tire..... all over sidewall and everything. Again nothing.
Getting ticked now. Look up and see a tub full of rainwater and say what the heck. So we go start submerging it in the water and guess what. My rim has a pinhole in it. Yep..... in the back, right where one of the spokes meets rim. So I get the camera out and start snapping photos. Got one pretty good pic but its to large and I need someone to make it smaller for me before I can post it. Anybody?
Saturday I contacted person I purchased from and let them know. I haven't heard back from them yet, so in a little bit I am going to give them a ring. Rims were brand new and should be under warranty. I will keep everybody posted if anyones is interested.
