Bill,
He states "uni lug design" there is no such thing when someone takes a drill
press to a wheel. If it were factory I could see using that term but these
are not factory and better described as "double drilled to fit 100 or 98 mm
pattern. Therefore I think I have a leg to stand on but he could try to
argue his ad. Not to say he would take them back ether. I'm not sure what I
will do but at least my home is not flooded so I should stop my whining. : )
I'll let you & the Spridgets know what he says.
