For fucking up my brand new 996 GT2 18x12’s. :bloated: This should be an entertaining claim. :shoot::shoot::shoot:Idiots. ![http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx01.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx01.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx02.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx02.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx03.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx03.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx04.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx04.jpg) ![http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx05.jpg](http://www.mturck.com/944/June07/FedEx05.jpg) There is more damage, but that’s all my father has sent me for now since I had them shipped to his house. Just FYI, they were packed by FedEx, and here’s what they looked like right before they were shipped (Pulled off a GT2 car with less than 4k miles). The delivery guy was on the phone with his boss 3 times and sounded quite nervous according to my father. So out of 12 wheels they delivered, they didnt fuck up 10 of them, way to go FedEx! ![http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/2483000-2483999/2483294_27_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/2483000-2483999/2483294_27_full.jpg) ---

whoever packed them is a complete idiot… so is the person that dropped them off and ALLOWED that packaging. I would never trust some store monkey to pack something that was very valuable to me personally or monetarily edit: keeping the rubber on does not guarantee then rim faces wont get chewed up. Wheels have to be packed properly. period. ---

[quote=“walter,post:3,topic:34723"”] Why didn’t they keep the rubber on? Thats how I always ship rims, even though it costs more. [/quote] The difference in shipping a set of wheels that size with the rubber from CA to NY is not a “small” difference. Besides, we negotiated without the tires since they were almost brand new Pilot Sport’s (315’s) and I didnt want them. (I dont like Pilot Sports). I’m going to keep them, sand them out and get a nice check from FedEx for their stupidity. The box was tight on the wheel, it appears as though someone played catch with it. ---

Ouch! I always pack all 8 edges of a rim in foam, but it appears that wouldn’t have even worked in this situation, because it looks like they dragged your rims behind the truck for a while. If Fed-Ex packed them, it’s on them I guess. ---

[/quote] FedEx will let you pack it yourself and insure it for as much as you want. At $500 and up they will open the box up and inspect your packing job before they insure it. ---

That was packaged improperly. I cant believe they did that themselves. Thats a horrible packaging job. There should be double or triple layer cardboard liners on the sides and bottom bc of the heavy weight. Plus foam to take up all empty space.
