To The Better Business Bureau,
We are writing in response to the recent complaint submitted to your office by Mr. ****** **** regarding a purchase he made through our website. While we take all customer concerns seriously and strive to provide the highest level of service, we believe the information presented in Mr. ****** message does not accurately reflect the facts of this transaction.
Mr. **** placed an order for a set of aftermarket wheels on July 21, 2025. After installation, he reported that the wheels made contact with his vehicles brake calipers. This is not uncommon when installing aftermarket wheels, and our customer service team promptly offered a resolution by suggesting wheel spacers be sent at no additional cost. Despite this offer, Mr. **** chose to return the wheels. We honored his request, processed the return, and issued a credit back to his account for the returned products. We have documentation confirming that this credit was successfully issued.
Furthermore, our customer service team responded to each of Mr. ***** inquiries in a timely and professional manner. At every stage of the process, we made every reasonable effort to assist him and resolve the matter to his satisfaction. We maintain full records of our communications and actions taken, and these clearly demonstrate our commitment to fair and responsive customer service. We trust this information provides a more accurate and complete context to the situation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please feel free to contact us should you require any additional documentation or clarification.

Dear Better Business Bureau
We are writing in direct response to a dispute filed by ***** *********, who placed an order for a custom wheel and tire package on June 7, 2025. The order was fulfilled and shipped in full via Southeastern Freight, with tracking number *********. The delivery was completed accordingly, and there is no indication of any issues during shipment or at the time of delivery.
As part of our standard operating procedure, every wheel and tire package undergoes a detailed, multi-step quality inspection conducted by a warehouse manager before it leaves our facility. This process includes high-resolution photographic documentation, a visual and physical examination for cosmetic or structural defects, bolt pattern confirmation, and proper mounting and balancing verification. These inspections are not rushed or superficialthey are thorough, time-stamped, and supervised by trained personnel to ensure that every product shipped is in pristine, brand-new condition.
Mr. ********* accepted the product without issue. Several days later, he contacted our customer service team and claimed that one of the wheels was damaged. He submitted images showing a wheel that was entirely destroyed. We have reviewed these images, and it is important to stress that the condition of the wheel depicted is completely inconsistent with the quality of the products that left our warehouse. The damage shown is extensive and clearly occurred after delivery. We maintain detailed records and photographs of the exact wheels and tires that were shipped, all of which were in mint, flawless condition prior to dispatch.
It is our firm position that Mr. ********* is not being truthful. His claim is fraudulent and appears to be an attempt to obtain a replacement wheel at our expense. He is misusing the Better Business Bureaus dispute process and in doing so, is making a mockery of the protections that the Better Business Bureau puts in place for legitimate consumer claims. This is not a case of misunderstandingit is a calculated attempt to exploit the system.
We respectfully request that the Better Business Bureau reviews our documentation, the delivery records, and the before-shipping inspection photos. The evidence clearly shows that the damage occurred after delivery and was not a result of any failure on our part. Mr. ********** claim is without merit.Customer Answer

We are writing in response to a complaint submitted by a customer regarding a product purchased from our company. Upon receiving the customer's concerns, our customer service team immediately engaged and has maintained frequent communication in an effort to resolve the issue. From the outset, we requested clear photos showing where the product was allegedly rubbing, as this information is essential for diagnosing fitment concerns. Unfortunately, despite multiple requests, the customer has refused to provide any images.
It is important to note that we have sold this exact productsame size, same specificationsfor the same year, make, and model of vehicle to numerous customers in the past without any reported fitment issues. Additionally, in an effort to assist and resolve the matter, we offered to provide wheel spacers at no cost. Spacers are a common and widely accepted solution when using aftermarket wheels and are often necessary depending on wheel offset and tire setup.
Despite our ongoing efforts to assist, the customer has been consistently uncooperative and has communicated with our staff in a rude and disrespectful manner. We remain committed to providing excellent service and support, but meaningful resolution requires cooperation and basic information from the customer, which has not been forthcoming in this case.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and are happy to provide any additional documentation upon request.Business Response

Dear Better business bureau
We are writing in response to the re-arbitration claim filed by ******* **** regarding his purchase of wheels, tires, and lugs from Wheel Hero. This claim is a deliberate and baseless attempt to avoid paying for merchandise he received in full.
Wheel Hero fulfilled and shipped all items promptly: lugs via *** (Tracking #1Z850A77YW15058120), wheels via ***** (Tracking #************), and tires via ***** (Tracking #************). All carriers have provided verified proof of delivery. In particular, ****** delivery records include timestamped photographic evidence showing the products at **. ***** residence. Additionally, our staff contacted ***** directly regarding Ticket C-1999939207 (Ref-42114), and ***** has confirmed the case is closed with the conclusion that the packages were indeed delivered as indicated. This Ticket was opened before ***** delivered the tires. ** love opened this case days ahead of the delivery. The tires and everything else on his order were delivered and the prove of delivery is attached.
**. ***** sole evidence is a short, selectively edited lawn camera clip that omits the exact timeframe of delivery confirmed by *****. This video is clearly manipulated just a few seconds of footage handpicked to exclude the moment of delivery. The omission is intentional and self-serving, designed to mislead and create the false impression that no delivery occurred. *****, an independent third-party carrier with no incentive to falsify data, has confirmed delivery and closed their investigation.
This is an extremely important case for Wheel Hero. Accepting **. ***** fabricated claim would reward bad-faith behavior and set a dangerous precedent, allowing dishonest customers to alter or withhold security footage to avoid paying for products they actually received. We urge Affirm not to be misled by this manipulated video and to uphold the documented facts provided by *****.
Wheel Hero has acted in full compliance, shipped promptly, and has clear, independent proof of delivery. We respectfully request that this re-arbitration claim be denied in order to protect the integrity of the dispute process and prevent abuse of the system against honest merchants.
Sincerely,
****** ******

Dear Better Business Bureau,
I am writing to formally appeal the decision made in favor of ******* ****. We firmly believe that the ruling reached was in error, as it disregards the overwhelming evidence we have provided showing that Mr. **** is taking advantage of both the Better Business Bureau and our company. At this very moment, the customer still has the products in his possession. Despite this fact, the case was unjustly ruled in his favor.
Throughout this process, we have submitted clear and consistent documentation supporting our position. The customer, on the other hand, has presented nothing more than mediocre and insufficient evidence that fails to prove his claims. Meanwhile, our company has been transparent and diligent in providing shipping records, carrier confirmations, and proof of delivery. Most importantly, the carrier has explicitly deemed the customer liable for the products, which cannot be ignored.
What makes this situation even more unacceptable is that the customers dispute centers only around the claim that he did not receive the tires, valued at $370.84. However, the dispute filed is for the entire order, totaling $1,803.63, which includes both wheels and tires. This means that not only is the customer in possession of the products, but he is also attempting to withhold payment for far more than the portion he is even disputing. This is fundamentally unfair, disproportionate, and clearly demonstrates his intent to exploit the system. It is outrageous that such a discrepancy is being permitted when it is obvious the customer is overreaching with no valid justification.
It is extremely disheartening that despite the evidence we have provided, we are the ones now being penalized for the actions of a customer who is clearly exploiting the dispute process. This outcome not only jeopardizes our business but also encourages fraudulent behavior from customers who recognize that they can manipulate the system to their advantage. We respectfully demand that the Better Business Bureau conduct a thorough review of all the evidence once again and overturn this wrongful decision.
We are outraged that a legitimate business, which has acted in full compliance and good faith, is being forced to endure financial loss while the customer enjoys possession of products he has not paid for. We ask you to stand by the principles of fairness and accountability by settling this case in our favor.
We trust you will take this matter seriously and look forward to your urgent review and correction of this decision.

The business sold me a set of wheels that was to come while I was out of the country so, I retuned them. They have had their unused merchandise for six months. They claim that since I don't have the original card it was purchased on, they can't figure out how to refund my money. I have spoken to at least seven different employees including management but keep getting gaslighted and the owner refuses to return my calls. It appears that they want to keep my wheels and money!Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We are writing in response to a complaint submitted by Mr. ******* **** regarding an order he placed with our company, Wheel Hero.
Mr. **** purchased a set of wheels from us and was provided with tracking information that clearly indicated the expected delivery date. Despite having this information, Mr. **** voluntarily left the country during the delivery window. The shipment was successfully delivered to the address provided and confirmed through tracking records. Subsequently, Mr. **** reported that the wheels were stolen.
While we understand the frustration that can come from a situation like this, Wheel Hero is not responsible for any lost or stolen packages after a successful delivery has been made, particularly when the loss results from a customer's decision to be absent during the delivery timeframe. We fulfilled our obligation by shipping the correct products and ensuring delivery to the customers specified location.
Mr. **** later claimed that he destroyed the credit card used to make the purchase and requested a refund. As is the case with all reputable retailers, Wheel Hero is only authorized to issue refunds to the original form of payment for security and fraud-prevention reasons. We are unable to credit an alternative card or method of payment.
We hope this clarifies our position in this matter. Wheel Hero has acted in accordance with standard business practices and policies and cannot assume liability for circumstances beyond our control.Initial Complaint

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We are reaching out regarding a dispute initiated by *** ******* concerning a return of tires purchased from our company. Our records clearly show that Mr. ******* was provided with the correct return address in ******* by our customer service team. Despite these instructions, he has mistakenly shipped the tires to an address in **************, which is entirely incorrect and not associated with our company in any way.
Because we have not received the tires at our designated return location, we are unable to process a refund.

Terrible online check out, the mounting and balancing selection box doesnt really add it to check out. Now Im stuck with wheels that were guaranteed to fit or I could return them, but on the box it says I cant return them after theyve been mounted, but they were supposed to have shown up mounted and balanced. Feels like a trap got no help from customer service.I selected to have the not only mounted but balanced and ceramic coated. None of this took place and they are saying it wasnt included which it definitely was. They offer a guaranteed fit but I cant mount the tires to fit them without losing the option to return if they dont fit.Business Response

Bought wheel/tire package from WheelHero.com. Upon receipt of tires Tuesday, February 4, I emailed for an explanation of the age/condition of 2 tires. Date stamp was 3822. Service manager reached out and said there was nothing he could do citing a 6 year dot standard. He also stated that his company doesn't store tires. He said the tire came directly from the manufacturer. Sunday, February 9, I had a major blowout from the same tire. Service manager only wants the tire returned. He refuses to give me the vendor information from which wheelhero supposedly purchased the tire.Business Response

Wheelhero.com refused to send a return label for the blown out tire after I mentioned getting my attorney involved. If this is considered "cooperation," well, I do believe, otherwise. The service manager also refused to provide contact information for his boss. I believe there's a conflict of interest that the service manager is somehow trying to hide or protect.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We are writing to provide additional details regarding the dispute initiated by Mr. ***** ****** concerning his purchase of a Wheel and Tire Package, Order #*********, placed on December 2, 2024. This response includes a comprehensive account of the situation, as requested by the Better Business Bureau.
The customer placed his order on December 2, 2024, and the package was shipped promptly on December 12, 2024. It was delivered on December 18, 2024, via carrier A. **** **** with tracking number *********. Mr. ****** has been in full possession of the items since that date. The order was handled with utmost efficiency and transparency, including timely communication during the shipping process.
Following the purchase, Mr. ****** reached out to our customer service department only once, on December 11, 2024, to inquire about the estimated shipping date. This inquiry was promptly addressed with a clear and helpful response, confirming our commitment to customer satisfaction. After this interaction, Mr. ****** made no further contact with our company regarding any issues or concerns about his order.
After the dispute was filed with his credit card company, we made numerous attempts to contact Mr. ****** via phone or email to resolve the matter directly. Despite our repeated calls, he has refused to answer or engage in any form of communication with our staff. This behavior strongly suggests that Mr. ****** is deliberately avoiding contact to exploit the dispute process and retain the items without payment.
It is imperative to highlight that Mr. ****** is currently in full possession of the Wheel and Tire Package he ordered and received. This is a blatant attempt to commit fraud by leveraging the **** dispute system to acquire high-value merchandise for free. Such actions are not only unethical but also constitute criminal activity under fraud statutes. We have images of a previous orders we fulfilled with the same vehicle, wheels and tires. This is to indicate that the products do fit the customer's vehicle.
The customer's actions undermine the integrity of the **** dispute process, making a mockery of the system intended to protect consumers from genuine cases of unfair business practices. Instead, Mr. ******* misuse of this system aims to defraud our company by retaining the items he ordered while evading payment. This is a serious violation of the law and a direct affront to fair commerce.
We respectfully request that the Better Business Bureau take this matter seriously and deny the customers claim in light of the evidence provided. Should you require any additional information or supporting documentation, we are fully prepared to assist.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We trust that the Better Business Bureau will act in accordance with its commitment to ensuring justice and fairness in all dispute resolutions.

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We are writing to formally address the complaint filed by ***** ****** against our company. This individual is being completely dishonest in his dealings with us and is clearly attempting to keep the products without paying for them. We have made multiple attempts to contact him via phone to resolve this matter, yet he refuses to answer or return our calls. His lack of response is deliberatehe is avoiding communication because he has no intention of returning the items, despite his false claims.
Although he states that he wants return labels, he has repeatedly ignored our efforts to provide them. Instead, he chooses to communicate exclusively through BBB complaints, where he continues to misrepresent the situation and falsely claim that he is trying to do the right thing. This is not a genuine attempt to resolve the issue; it is a calculated effort to mislead both our company and the Better Business Bureau while retaining possession of the merchandise without payment.
It is clear that this customer is abusing the ******************** system to appear as though he is acting in good faith when, in reality, he is taking advantage of our company and wasting your time. We urge the Better Business Bureau to see past this disguise and recognize that this complaint is not made in good faith but rather as an attempt to avoid financial responsibility.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We appreciate your assistance in recognizing and addressing this fraudulent behavior.Business Response

This customer still has the products in his possession and has no intention of returning them. He has never reached out to our customer service teamnot once.

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY I ordered a set of wheels and tires from WheelHero with the tires mounted and balanced by them. One of the wheels arrived damaged. I immediately contacted WheelHero for a replacement, and their solution was to PURCHASE a new wheel, move the tire from the damaged wheel to the new, and ship the damaged wheel back. I was assured IN WRITING that I would be reimbursed for both the wheel purchase AND THE LABOR TO MOUNT AND BALANCE THE TIRE. After sending back the damaged wheel and sending the invoice ($54.70) multiple times for the mounting and balancing, I received a refund for the wheel only. After numerous emails (these clowns don't talk to you on the phone) back and forth with "customer service", I was told that they would not reimburse me for the mounting and balancing.All I have asked for - repeatedly - is a refund of the $54.70 for mounting and balancing AS I WAS PROMISED BY ***** AT WHEELHERO.

We are writing in response to a complaint from ***** ******* regarding his purchase of a wheel and tire set on September 10, 2024. After receiving his order, Mr. ******* contacted our customer service department to report that one of the wheels had been damaged in transit by the carrier. As a resolution, our team promptly offered to retrieve the damaged wheel and advised Mr. ******* that he could place a new order for a replacement, which would be reimbursed once the damaged wheel was received at our location, per our company policy.
It was made explicitly clear to Mr. ******* that our reimbursement covered only the cost of the wheel itself and that he would be responsible for any additional costs, including mounting and balancing. Mr. ******* agreed to these terms. However, he has since expressed dissatisfaction over not being reimbursed for the mounting and balancing feesan expense we never agreed to cover.
Throughout this process, our customer service team has worked diligently to assist Mr. ******** responding to every inquiry and ensuring he understood the terms of our policy.

Dear Dispute Resolution Team,
We are writing to address a recent complaint filed by Mr. ****** ******** regarding his order placed with our company on January 7th, 2025. We appreciate the opportunity to provide clarification and details about this matter.
On January 7th, Mr. ******** placed an order through our online store. Shortly thereafter, he contacted our customer service department requesting to cancel the order. At the time of his message, the order was already in transit to his address. We promptly reached out to the carrier to intercept the shipment. It is important to note that the package was actively on its way to Mr. ********** residence when we intervened to redirect it back to our facility.
In accordance with our clearly stated Return and Exchange Policy, which customers agree to prior to completing their purchases, any order canceled after it has left our facility is subject to a 35% restocking fee. This policy is in place to cover costs associated with processing, handling, and restocking returned items.
We have credited Mr. ******** for his order minus the applicable restocking fee. This resolution aligns with the terms and conditions explicitly agreed upon at the time of his purchase.
Should the Better Business Bureau require any additional information or documentation to assist in resolving this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We value transparency and are committed to providing all necessary details to ensure this case is reviewed fairly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
