My new wheels have been modified.

I bought my first set of aftermarket wheels. But there is one thing i noticed about them i do not like, at all.

Looks good, right? But when I look in the lug holes on the rear, the bolt pattern has been changed. The bolt holes are actually oblong, and the holes have been moved farther out, look.

Front, looks normal, how it was manufactured.

Rear looks like they took a huge drill bit to it. Those marks on the edge are scratches.

Look at the label on the side of the box.

Is this normal? I am f-ing pissed, and in need of some input. What are my options?

Alot of places that specialize in when can redrill the bolt pattern to fit certain application as long as it was done good youre fine

While I think they would be fine, I'd be pissed too. It's obvious the seller modified them.

Id resell them....

Why resell when you can contact the seller and get your money back or the right wheels?

True but you never know... maybe you can make $50+ off of them? Especially in my area.... its FLOODED with ricers.... might as well call it RICERMANIA or RICEDALE.... & yes Supra mania inspired me to make up RICER mania

Did you buy the wheels from a store or was it a private sale?
I would definitely be asking questions right about now. Redrilled is one thing, but they wouldn't settle right with me either. I would ask for a set that were manufactured in 5x114.3 and see what they say.

You have every right to be pissed. They modified them without telling you, and sold them to you at full price even though they were modified. This is assuming you bought them new from a shop of course.

If I forked over cash for new parts, I expect to get exactly what I order not something that has been modified to work.

I bought the wheels new from a stren dealer.
The issue I have is if i were given the choice of having some wheels modified to fit, I would have definitely said no thanks, and looked elsewhere.
I called before ordering, to verify what I wanted was available, and during the same call I ordered. I feel like i received something completely different than I ordered.
I just wish I was given a choice. On top of that they're scratched to hell in some spots, from the "adjustment".

I think I want some NEW rear wheels.
