Would the rims have fit on a mazda6?
Is that where they went wrong?

they fit bolt pattern wize or if you are a "stance" guy or car show guy who never drives the car.
But once you hit a small bump, take a corner half assed aggressively or put any weight besides the driver in there, they rubbed like a madman.
I even rolled the lip quite a bit. Not visibly from the outside, afterall its a $$$ car(at least to me) and is still nearly new. But enough to take care of the lip. This helped but its still silliness.
As well, the tire was taking some wear and so was the paint. And the tires actually stuck out past the fender, even on top. Just dumb.

"Ya damn kids and your "sta-ance". Why back in my day, we didn't even have fenders! You kids take them for granted with your rollin' and a scrapin' and a zero offset-whosi-whatsits. Eisenhower would have boxed your damn ears in!"
Edit: To clarify, I'm just making fun of John. There is flush, and then there is just WRONG fitments.

What came of this, John? Makes me so angry to read stuff like this... feel bad for ya! AFAIK, reporting to BBB doesn't really "matter" because, yes, the BBB can post a bad rating and comment on your behalf in their literature, but the business is given a chance to rebutt and they can just lie about what happened or how they handled your comment/complaint... so, in the end, it's just their word against yours and the potential consumer who reads the feedback is just back at square one. |

nothing happened with them. I sold the wheels to someone whos car they fit(and looks great on), I bought ones that fit my car. cost me more money, cost me a second low profile wheel and tire balance(my time and effort), cost me a lot of pain in the ass.
But I am sure that no one on here will buy from them, and I would doubt if anyone on MazdasNW would either.
And if they treated me that way, I am sure they did so to other people. My car is a bit rare, but its not a '66 Lotus Cortina or something.
