Cheap tubular control arms for replacements?

So I bought those new arms, installed the PST balljoints and bushings into them, and finally-after months of working an hour here and there-was able to get the car towed to the alignment shop. They did the alignment and as I pulled out of the shop parking lot I get this wretched grinding from the front wheels. I made it about 100 yards and had to pull over, and get towed back to the shop. The Upper control arms were touching the inner rims and grinding. Now they have to set a 3-4 degree negative camber to clear the rims.

What a disappointing situation..
