Default bad experience with rusty wallace toyota in TN

just a fyi for those that might be looking for a few xa factory parts,you might want to stay away from rusty wallace toyota, in TN i made an offer on some factory rims on ebay and all they did was respond in caps(email version of yelling) to me saying that i insulted them. not even making a counter offer, just denied the offer, i was about 85.00 away from what their buy it now price including an unreasonable 80.00 for shipping for the now obsolete factory aluminum rims for my xa. i expected to get a counter offer but got nothing but bad vibes. in this time of bad sales in the automotive makert, a little bit of salesmanship is called for.
i would highly recommend second thoughts when dealing with these people, just my two cents.

I found a website trdparts4u out of tx who had the 10 spoke whees for like 28 bucks. I ordered 5 and some lock nuts.

Needless to say I got an email the next day that the price was 49.99 each and I think 40 bucks shipping each. I wrote them back that I thought that was a bit high, could they work on the price. No response.

I got some 7 spoke xb ones for 230 from a member here complete with caps, shipping and nuts. You know the dealer ones do not include the center caps or nuts.

It was my understanding the wheels from the dealer are just that, wheels with no nuts or caps. The give away wheels many people are selling includes everything.

Doesnt matter,I got my set and it was a give away that came with the center cap, acorn nuts and new valve stem.
