Yea I am sure. I put round cardboard covers around the faces of the wheels and then wrapped everything in cellophane so wheels were kinda exposed....lots of people ship wheels this way.

If your wheels were shipped by UPS (AKA Useless Piece of S**t) at the same time as:-

Do you think that the items may have made contact at some stage ?

/agree

Not only this, FEDEX is considerably cheaper for sending wheels and tires. I'm talking half of what UPS is. I was shocked by the difference the first time I shipped wheels with FEDEX, and I will never look back.

Sorry about the debacle you're going through.

+1

I had my Pirelli's shipped through military APO to Germany. When I got them they were only wrapped in cellophane - no other packaging material. No damage whatsoever.
