I feel I may have placed a dodgy order as tyre not yet received and their email just bounces back.

    It doesn't look remotely legit. Did it look any better when you placed your order?

    I recently ordered a spare wheel from https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/ and was very impressed with the product, service and delivery.  It looks to me like thewheel-store are trying to imitate other sites.

    Several red flags:

    Contact address:  "PO Box anywhere in shropshire"
    Telephone number is a mobile.
    About us is some nonsense text
    None of the quick 
    links work
    Domain registered 4 months ago.

    100% scam site.

    If you have not received the item after.
    15 days Visa Card
    30 days Mastercard
    Then contact bank for a non receipt chargeback.
    If you used PayPal, then it's 10 days.

    Bank will do nothing about retailer, they do not police companies. Just claim the money back for you.
