A friend I know at skool offered to trade me some tires and wheels the other day.
The terms of the trade was he was trading me some brand new off brand A/T tires on some deep-dish Outlaw II steel wheels, for my Well Worn 31" BFG Long Trail radials on the same wheels just not deep-dished.
I agreed and brought my jack, 4-way, and tires/wheels to skool the next day. At the end of the skool day I go to my truck to find that the guy and his friends have already begun changing the wheels/tires.
I was pretty mad that they had done this, then they proceeded to make matters worse by jacking the vehicle (a wrangler) up to the point it was teetering on the jack. I bit my tongue and kept thinking about how nice the wheels would look on my truck. After they had finished changing the wheels I shook his hand and left, making sure that I had everything.
Move forward in time to earlier tonight. I went to our normal hangout spot (wal-mart parking lot) and pulled in. I had put the wheels on my ranger and was very pleased with how it looked. My friends really liked it as well.
The boy I traded with comes over and says "Hey man, my parents are pissed! they want me to trade you the rims back." I said "why?" He says "They were deep-dished and they paid for them, you can keep the tires, I just want the rims back."
What am I supposed to do? I made sure with him eye to eye that it was a STRAIGHT trade with no B.S.
What would you do?
