How I got burned for 410 dollars, and my quest to get it back

[freeride53]

I'm sorry, but lol WTF.
how does that happen.
your box looked magnifique, i call shens on seller.

Mind = blown.

The material on the wheel is still perfect. The box is still in great shape. It would take a lot to bend a steering wheel like that.

Maybe hulk bent it by hand?

The picture on the for sale thread shows it as a straight steering wheel.

The fact that the seller isn't replying kind of scares me. Most people would at least contact you and say they had nothing to do with the damages.

Idk its odd. good luck!!

Sorry for your loss.

that definitely looks like a bent wheel from an accident. some wheels can even get bent into tacos in accidents. did you ask for pics before it was sold?

[havand]

Now that I'm looking at it... anyone wanna bet if the top bend is head shaped? No idea what happened here. Not taking sides... just saying. My only thought is you should have specified insurance, if he didn't. Shitty situation, for the both of you, either way.

definetaly rock it

[redsubdivisions]

I didn't even know you could bend it that bad. Unless the box was completely destroyed, it looks to me that the seller pulled some shit on you. I doubt whoever was used for shipping did that much damage to it. I have shipped window panes before without them being smashed, but a steering wheel? That takes some nice effort to destroy.

Wow. Just wow. That wheel looks like it was in a car accident and then sold to you.

[Wh33lhop]

Holy shit.

[havand]

Usually I'm not the positive guy in the room.... but put a super fast steering rack on, cut the top and bottom and knight rider rock it.

[IDM]

Unless that thing got caught under a UPS truck I don't see how that much damage could occur. Unless it came from a rolled car in the first place

[lambo]

Looks like shipping damage.

I feel the box would be super fucked up for that kind of damage...

Edit: And it also takes quite a bit to bend a factory wheel like that, correct?

[Project 325i]

Holy shit

[Cronopoulos]

Looks like shipping damage.

How does that even happen?? It's certainly curious that, as already noted, the box appears to be in good shape.
