I just received my UPS delivery of my new 19" OEM staggered #166 wheels from "Bmwwheels.com." I was very excited at first to open my new babies.
I noticed that the boxes were all torn up, but I presumed that the wheels were packaged in cardboard. When I opened the boxes, I realized that the wheels were only surrounded in a piece of light white packaging wrap (shown in the pictures). I knew what I was going to find next.
All four wheels were chipped around the outsides. Some of the boxes were open, and the outside of the wheels were completely exposed. It is like having curb rash on many of the new wheels.
I am in shock that a $1440 shipment of wheels that costs $150 to ship was wrapped with no package protection. Any recommendations? I cannot possibly believe that this happened. I will contact Bmwwheels.com tomorrow to get their reaction to this problem.
Please see the pictures below.
This sucks

It's too bad you accepted the shipment. Did you at least go on record with the shipper that the boxes were damaged?
Hope you can get it worked out with bmwwheels.com...

Despite asking bmwwheels.com in an email not to let UPS deliver the boxes without my presence/signature, UPS simply left $1440 worth of product on my front door without a signature.

Wow, I just received my wheels from bmwwheels.com (a dealer in Phoenix, AZ) and they were ok. I was far from impressed with their system they are a dealer and act as such. They are not a professional dealer like tirerack.com.
With regards to the shipping I am pretty sure this is where they make up the margin to give you such a great deal.
If there were a better place I would have bought them elsewhere.
Perhaps you have some recourse from your credit card you paid with.
