Idiot sellers

I recently bid on and won some alloy wheels which were advertised as 17 inch rims. i went to the sellers home to pick them up and upon inspecting them i found out they were actually a 16 inch rim. When i pointed this out to the seller he said 'well i measured them with my tape measure and they are 17 inches across' It clearly states the size on the side of the tyre!

He then got really shirty and grabbed them back off me and pretty much threw my cash back at me. I am about to leave him a big fat neg whilst being glad of the new feedback regs knowing he can't leave me a neg back in return.
Cover me in honey and fling me to the hermaphrodites!

    I'm now trying to decide what to write in the feedback box.

    Want to put something along the lines of "Wheels wrong size to what was advertised. Seller got angry when i no longer wanted them being wrong size"

    Which is obviously too long for the box - any suggestions on how to word it?

    Wrong size advertised, rude and angry when refunding money!
  • Waste of a journey, wheels only 16inch, no apology, only ranting!

    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    horrendously bad joke omitted for the protection of any reputation or opinion formed by others.

    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
