Sorry they got you. Hear this same story almost daily between forums and the Facebook groups.

I will have to check into that, Walt. I paid through paypal using my visa as source of funds.

Then you should actually have two layers of protection, both PayPal and Visa.  PayPal I believe will refund the transaction and you aren't even required to return the merchandise. 
 

I have seen lots of issues with CJ on another very popular Mustang forum and don't order from them any longer - not that this helps you any.

I've not had much success with the PayPal disputes but my VISA credit card company has been great. 

I bought the Magnum 500's I had on my car (this was long ago) from John's Mustang in Houston.  His products were consistently good and on the rare occasion when there was an issue, he worked with me to make it right.  I can say the same for National Parts Depot.  I've only had one issue with them (they packed an order in a large box that contained a rear-view mirror and some heavy stuff that ended up breaking the mirror) - called them about it and they sent out a replacement mirror at no charge and didn't need the damaged one back.

Hope your adventure turns out well though.

This shows what they told me. They want me to send he parts back at my expense, but since they were installed, there will be no refund.

Sounds like they're NOT classifying it as a defective part. I would definitely call Joshua and explain that the part is defective.

Ditto on it being determined to be a defective part. Who's gonna notice the stud holes not having the stamping process completed before mounting the tires and the wheels onto the car?

It almost looks like the "cones" were stamped into the back side of the wheels.

I bet one of the other popular vendors would have still taken those back.   Mounted or not, it’s very clear they are in no way useable.   Given the history of CJ, they won’t do anything no matter how strong your case is.

I swear I think CJ’s is just trying to cash in on as much as they can for as long as they can before they shut down.

If you compare it to the picture of the rim on the CJ Pony website, the hole does not have the machining done to make it slightly concave.

As much as I like the looks of chrome, I have had several different issues with Steel Magnum 500's

Black Paint chipping and peeling
Chrome pitted and rusting
Several out of round and not able to balance

I am close to KY Mustang, and they have always taken care of me, but I typically figure I will go through 8 wheels before I have four the work.

A friend bought a set of the Aluminum Legendary Brand Magnum 500's and while they don't have the look of chrome, they do look nice, were lighter, great appearance, and ROUND.
