pervitizm Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 So I was talking to some of my friends about the rotten deal that I'm going through regarding my Rims see HERE!!!!! for details. Anyway one of the guys said that I could find a machinist that could possibly shave the offset down on the wheels from a +18mm to +31. Has anyone ever had this done before? If so what does this usually run price wise? Also if anyone here is in the St. Louis MO area and know of a shop that could do this could you please let me know. I'm now looking at this as an options. The reason being is that my state on small claims court judgments only allow a person to sue up to $3K max. This shop has almost $4K of my money. I can still sue them in civil court, but that will require a lawyer to file. And with me going through my divorce right now I just can't really fight two court battles at the same time. Nor can I afford it, so I'm trying once again to take the higher road on this issue and see if there is a way where I can come out of this deal without loosing my money or rims.

pervitizm Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Me too. I just heard back from the Better Business Bureau on this and they still haven't heard back from the shop. So I've filed a consumer protection claim against the shop with the Missouri Attorney General's office, and I'm in the process of finding another lawyer that will help me deal with this issue since its looking more and more like I'm going to have to file a civil lawsuit with them to get my money back. I don't understand how these people can justify taking my money and not providing me with the product that I was told they could get me with no issues. I haven't seen those rims since April when I was trying to get them installed on the truck. The fact that I'm having to deal with this as well as a divorce that's turning uglier by the week is starting to become to much for me to baer. But I just can't sit back and let these people take me for my hard earned money.

pervitizm Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I was trying to come up with another way to resolve this issue without going to court over it really. That was the reason for the question regarding the machine/metal shop. I really don't want to have to deal with two court proceedings at the same time but I don't know if I have some sort of time limit in getting my money back from this store. And the divorce, is well a divorce and that's going to happen no matter what. Its just all bad timing for everything really.
