Hope that's the cause of it. Good luck and let me know.

I'm actually very disappointed about NSX owners..

First I bought a set of rims from an NSX owner in ATL. What it seemed like a good deal turned out the owner didn't know **** about tires and wheels and lied to me. After I got the wheels home, I realized the wheels weren't balanced and the tires were slightly cupped (No weights inside of the wheels)... I then emailed him and he offered to pay for balancing. But very next day (when I was driving to FL) the guy changed his mind and decided NOT pay for the balance which he guaranteed to be balanced and the rims aren't bent.

Yesterday, Me, AbadR1, and SPOautos went down to check out the NSX. First the owner told me that the paint was good and told me, "I challenge you to find a single flaw in the paint job".

When I first walked up to the car, I saw nothing but flaws in every single panels of the car. DaleClark was there too and I'm sure he will agree with me also about the condition of the paint. Some of the panels were repainted and it was by far the worse paint job I've ever seen on any car PERIOD! It was so bad I could see the sand paper scratches 4-5 feet away.

Next, the owner told me that the car did not leak any oil and that his service man told him that it did not burn any oil as the oil level never went down. When we jacked up the car and looked under, OIL WAS EVERYWHERE..

So pretty much, me, Leo, and Stephen wasted 14 hours of our life looking at this car because the guy lied about his car.
Sorry to hear that Phil. Are you still looking to get one or has this experience left a bad taste? Do you plan to sell the wheels and tires?

Luckily the wheels work with my MX5 and the RX7... So, I might just keep them and wear them out.

Well, what you could do it take them to Sears or NTB and have a computer printout of the balance. If the tires are not out of balance, I don't think there is a charge, and if they are, you will have written proof to put before him.

If you change your mind on selling the ssr wheels let me know?

How much would you ask for them? I love those wheels.

Thanks
