1.2 We may revise these terms and conditions at any time by updating this posting. You should check this posting from time to time to review the then current terms and conditions, for any further updates and changes. Certain provisions of these terms and conditions may be superseded by legal notices or terms located on particular pages of this Website.
2. Ordering
2.1 When ordering online you are deemed to place the order through our secure online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors.
2.2 Our acceptance of an order takes place when we despatch the order. When we despatch the order the purchase contract will be made in writing by means of an invoice, even if your payment has been processed immediately, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order.
2.3 We may refuse to accept an order:
(a) where goods are not available;
(b) where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment;
(c) if there has been a pricing or product description error; or
(d) if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.
3. Pricing
3.1 All prices include VAT (where applicable) at the current rates. All prices are shown inclusive of VAT at all stages throughout the searching/ordering process, and all prices quoted in addition to this website by phone or by email shall also be given inclusive of VAT at all times.
3.2 Although we endeavour to keep all prices and information within the website up to date and accurate at all times, on occasion manufacturers and suppliers will make changes without prior warning, for which we reserve the right to make pricing alterations and changes to information displayed at short notice.
3.3 Prior to receipt of invoice and goods, if a pricing error occurs through the website or by quotation upon enquiry or point of ordering, we will endeavour to maintain the price for you, but in circumstances where this is not possible we reserve the right to inform you of this error, and if you wish to proceed, make the necessary amendments prior to processing your order.
3.4 Where we charge separately for postage and packaging and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out on this website and in addition will be clearly displayed online during searching and checkout stages.
4. Cancellation and returns policy
4.1 If you wish to cancel your order:
(a) you can notify us by phone on +44(0)8437729709 before we have dispatched the goods or before an order has reached the preparation stages (i.e: tyres being fitted to alloy wheels); or
(b) where goods have already been dispatched to you, by returning goods to us in accordance with clause 4.2 below. The cost to safely and securely return any unwanted items lies solely with the purchaser.
4.2 Any goods for return must be notified to us in writing within 7 working days commencing from the day after receipt. Any non-faulty goods returned outside of the 7 day period without notice during the period we reserve the right to refuse.
4.3 The rights to return the goods to us as referred to in clause 4.2 will not apply in the event that;
a) the product has been used
b) the product has been fitted
c) the product is not returned to us in the same condition as you received the product.
d) the product has been manufactured to individual requirements and/or on a special order basis.
e) the product has had tyres fitted.
All Alloy Wheel and Tyre Packages are deemed as special order items.
e) the product has been sold/passed on to a third party
Any goods that are damaged in transit on return to Radi8wheels due to poor packaging or lack of care on your behalf will not be refunded and will be returned to sender. Please ensure all returns are packaged to the same level as when initially received. We require all original manufacturer/branded packaging to be enclosed.
4.4 Every order direct from Radi8wheels will be courier delivered and require a signature upon receipt. Prior to signing for goods we ask that you check that the goods are both undamaged and that all goods are in the consignment that should be. Signing for the goods is an acceptance that everything in the delivery is as it should be and undamaged. If your order is being sent to a work address please ensure that the person signing for the goods on your behalf if not yourself is aware of what needs to be done on the arrival of the delivery. If you inform us of damages or shortfalls after signing for a consignment it makes it very difficult to make a claim from the couriers and some couriers will not accept liability. Claims for damages and shortfalls will be processed within 48 hours.
4.5 In the event of an alleged defect with goods fitted and used but still under warranty, the purchaser must return the goods to us for inspection and assessment of the fault. If the defect is deemed a fault covered by warranty and still within the cover period we will persue the claim with the utmost importance. As outlined below, please contact us prior to making any returns so that we are aware of the return initially and also so we can begin to establish if the fault is one that is covered by the terms of the warranty and ensure that the product is still within the warranty period.
The provisions of these clauses do not affect your statutory rights.
Product guarantees & warranties
All product warranties and guarantees are provided solely by the product manufacturers and the UK importers. If you have a claim under warranty, the moment you contact us we will act on your behalf to persue your warranty claim. On most occasions products deemed faulty under warranty will need to be returned to either ourselves or the manufactuer/importer for further inspection, but this will be done in the quickest time possible and treated as a matter of urgency.
All warranty claims must be accompanied by an original invoice and proof of purchase and must be discussed with us before goods are returned. In the unlikely event that warranty claim is not deemed valid, we will not be liable for any costs incurred and we will not accept liability for any costs incurred throughout a claim for labour and/or other related charges. Warranty and Guarantee are voided in the event that products have been modified or have been sold on to a third party. The warranty and Guarantees lie solely with the first user.
Please note: Alloy Wheels in chrome and alloy wheels with a polished face or rim are not covered by a warranty, Painted Alloy Wheels come with a 6 month warranty. This is due to the climate in the UK and salts that are used on the roads.
Please note: Warranty is void in cases where wheels have suffered damage from stone-chips, kerbing, neglect or other 3rd party causes (Use of Run Flat Tyres).

14. Alloy wheels and tyres additional information
14.1 Please check all the wheels prior to commencing fitting to ensure that no transit damage has occurred and that they are in accordance with your order. All claims must be reported within 24 hours of receipt.
14.2 Check that all the wheels fit both the front and rear of the vehicle and do not foul the suspension, brakes, bodywork or steering. Check that there are no projections evident on the hub and that the wheel fits flush to the hub. Please note that unsuitable wheels that have already been fitted with tyres will not be liable for refund.
14.3 Manual mounting equipment should not be used as this can cause damage to the wheel. For best results, use equipment with a rotating head and an upper bead breaker that does not touch the wheel.
14.4 Radi8wheels Ltd. recommend the use of stick-on weights. Clip-on weights can cause damage to the wheel coating, which could result in the waiving of warranty rights.
14.5 Check that all the wheels fit both the front and rear of the vehicle and do not foul the suspension, brakes, bodywork or steering. Check that there are no projections evident on the hub and that the wheel fits flush to the hub. Please note that unsuitable wheels that have already been fitted to the vehicle and driven on are not liable for refund. If wheel spacers are required to clear suspension, brakes, bodywork or steering components, these are readily available.
14.6 Tighten nuts/bolts in a cross-wise pattern using only hand tools to torque the nuts/bolts to the specified setting in the vehicle manual. Once all the wheels are fitted, re-torque all nuts/bolts to the specified setting again. Do not grease the nut/bolt seating. Radi8wheels Ltd recommend that for safety reasons all nuts/bolts are checked after 50 miles and then checked at regular intervals for the safety of the driver and passengers of the vehicle and other road users.
14.7 Radi8wheels Ltd. recommends that detergents normally used for cleaning vehicle bodywork are used to clean alloy wheels. Do not use alkali/acid based wheel cleaners, scouring pads or other abrasive materials, as these are liable to cause damage to alloy wheels and void warranty.
