That is no joke. It' an ad from the latest Unique Cars magazine. If I'm correct, his wheels were pinched, insurance will cover the replacement costs, but Ford DO NOT have replacement rims available. Not 100% sure if this is the truth of the matter though, just what I have HEARD.

Hmm, a bit rich to sell the car cos yuo cant get wheels IMHO. I mean sure you nee dthem but why not just go for some BA 18's if they are going to be such a wait? I find it hard to believe Ford would leave the guy high and dry, im sure they would have offered something in the mean time and this guy is just more interested in having a sook.

Just a whinging sook. Selling a great car over the wheels flogged.
Why doesn't he put some Aftermart ones on until he can get the others.
He would still complain about the HSV cars as well if something happened.

Another Tantrum in a sea of tantrums. When will these losers work out the more you demand and stamp your feet the longer things take. Behaving like a person usually gets quicker and more positive results.

maybe he implying he's had enough with ford. maybe they haven't offered him other wheels to borrow as they have been stolen. i feel for him. I hope FPV are taking note a lot of complaints are arising . and i quote it is not the dealers. its the cars and fpvs attittude they are like a ghost behind the seens you only get to speak to dealers. and dealers dont make parts. i would be ****ed if i was in that situation.
