Yea do that, so the sots over there can stop their bitching. I think the post got nuked before my post was read last night (I was pissed) saying that I and Achtuning! could vouch for you and if they didn't want to trust you then don't reply.

Ah! yeah I missed that one Thanks for trying though! Right now I have 3 people interested in them. Trying to coax my sister into taking some pics of them for me. Noone wants to buy wheels without pics apparently! Understandable I guess. Im still hoping for someone to come to my house to buy them so the whole "give me your money before I ship the wheels" thing can be avoided.

So, let me ask you guys something. I ordered VMR V710 matte black wheels from PYSpeed.com on Feb 28 of this year. Up until now I have gone on the assumption that they were, in fact, V710 wheels. Then I ask my sister to snap some photos and find out they are actually VB3s. Previously, I was hesitant to try and return them to the manufacturer (I got a GTI instead of the S4) because they would have charged a 30% restocking fee. But I just now found out they sent me the wrong wheels. Is this my way out? Can I return them to PYSpeed now without a restocking fee because they screwed up the order? What do you guys think? Someone please verify my madness and tell me these are actually the VB3s I think they are... Thanks lol

VB3? V718? ARRG

The differences are very subtle but focusing on where the spokes touch the sides, I can tell those are indeed the VB3. The pairs of V710 spokes actually angle in towards each other notably, leaving a very narrow space between the pairs - the 710's are closer to parallel and touch wider apart.

If they are 19" VB3's then he should definetly be able to return them because the spec. are completely wrong from what he had ordered. For 5 x 112 pattern, they only comes in ET40 or 45 and not ET35.

Those wheels you have in the box are VMR V718. The chamfered spline along the front of the spokes is what gives it away. The VB3 doesn't have that chamfer on the face of the spokes.
It doesn't matter in any case, you say you ordered V710 and got V718. Tell pyspeed. I doubt they'll do anything about it. They seem to rarely even answer emails. But it's worth a try.
