Default Need Help screwed by ebay purchase

I bought a used set of RCC czar wheels for my 2009 Heritage. The seller told me they would fit with no issues. When I tried to install them I found out the offsets in the hubs are different. Can anyone tell me what, if any, options I have besides changing out the hubs to make them fit? Also, there is no return on these wheels. So, I am stuck with these wheels and my Heritage is sidelined until I get this figured out. Please help me.

offsets are different in what aspect? Can you use spacers to true up your wheel alignments

After our conversation it sounds like you need at least a rear hub since the diameter of the bolts for the pulley is different. RC can get you what you need. Unfortunately this happens all the time and can be a real pain to deal with. I feel your pain.

Ebay still protects you and your emails are saved in your ebay whether you deleted them or not.
Just email the seller ask him to return since he said they would fit, then email eBay and ask them to help you, they will.

Might be better to sell them and buy the right ones?

I love the look of the wheels though jims. If I have to, I guess I will just have to grin and bear it and buy the hubs. Then chalk it up to a lesson learned.
