Justintoxicated Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) I jsut switched from Kate II's to Extreme Haulers and it appears that my rims are offset? My old Rims Were 3.5x5.5 inches. My new Rims are 3.5x6.5 inches. Are they Offset or is this typical? I did not order offset rims form RMATV. Also they are not very Shiny form what I have sceen, it looks as though someone rubbed them clean with a coarse rag, you can see the bufff marks all over them. There are also some scratches and digs on the rims. man they almost have more damage than my 5 year old Skate II's on blue lable! Ok I might as well post the pictures. Guess I should have posted this in the images section. Just kinda Disapointed for an almost $300 purchase. Any Suggestions?

RNBRAD Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Typical off-set for a 9" wide rim. Your others were 8'' wide. Total will be 10'' on the tape bead to bead. That's exacly what you want. The scratches suck though. I wouldn't tolerate that a bit. Give them a shout and see what they can do about it. Send them some pics of the damage. Who knows may have been the shipper. Can't imagine them letting that kind of stuff ship out of there warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not in a box though which was odd, however, non of the packaging wrap was broken and it was very tightly wrapped. Looks more like someone wacked them a couple times getting the tires ont he bead. Thanks for clarifying the offset I thoguht it might be normal since they were wider but wanted to make sure cause it kinda suprised me. And now I have to go kill a mouse in my room ! EEKK Little bastard ate one of my Humburger Buns! WTH! Edited February 15, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) they offered to refund me $10 or else I can ship them back. Although the dings are horribly bad, I don't even have any marks like this in my 5 year old Blue Lables. Sand Tires jsut tend to not get beat to hell like my knobbies. I was hoping for more than $10..... Edited February 15, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenr74 Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Do you have to pay to send them back or is it prepaid? I'd send them back and get new ones if they pay shipping. I have always had good luck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Yea but then I miss using them for the biggest trip left this year. Glamis with the east coast people this weekend... So I'm screwed no matter what I do. Might just have to order another Rim to replace it and eat the $40 Edited February 16, 2005 by Justintoxicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Well the best deal I could work out was getting the $10 discount. Otherwise I would not have them for this coming weekend. Not sure if I will order tires from rocky mountain again. And everyone seems to think their finish is better than ITP. Well NOT from my experience. The digs suck but I will have to live with them. At least there are some extreme Haulers on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
