They would have looked nice on there Chris, one rule I learned very quickly is never leave any money where the wife can see it - you know instantly it will be earmarked for some thing to benefit her NOT you. Good luck on your next find for wheels. I've been trawling through eBay for e34's and found one or two lovely 530 V8's which may leave me in the doghouse yet again! Paul |

i did in a way ... sold them last nite went to work came in and left the money lying next to my keys , got up this morning and the missus is now got her eyes set on a new bed ..........
so wheels will need to wait till the end of the month now .. should have stashed the cash
ahwell .. here's a pic of what the wheels looked like against the car , a suitable set i think .. |

no offence, but........ i'd have been back on his door step within "nano-second's" of finding they didn't fit, i'd have gave him his place to addmit fault and take my cash back, or if he didn't wanna play ball ..... PARTY ON!! |

Yes i agree with Noisufnoc, appear at his door with some mates and "persuade" him to give you a refund!! People like that just ruin it for genuine sellers!!! |

Shame him on strathy. He will be more likely to reply to you then, cos noone will buy anything else from him. Your right about the advertising thing tho. I did the same with an exhaust (long story but i think it probably would have fitted) but it didnt fit either. That was from a mate as well

allan the guy had them for sale on strathy , and they had been for sale for ages, he was selling them for a a m8 . and i just paid for them with paypal , turned up as he was comming home from work , handed me the wheels and i put them in the car and headed off home , ( had the kids with me so want to get them home to bed as it was the back of 8 ).. it wasn't till i went to fit them i though hold on a min ... and i measured the pcd ...and it was 110 and not 120 , its not something i would imagine anybody would lie about so never thought to check it when collecting them ... if you advertise a set of alloys to fit a certain car you'd normally expect themto fit that car ...

No offence mate. But you can tell right away that they are not for a BMW. I think so anyway

Id turn up at his door with the wheels and get a refund for petrol on top of that, I grew up in greenock/port glasgow and found that the people there can be quite persuasive. Its people like that that are giving ebay and buying things on the internet a bad name, if he were to sell you something that he lied about the description in say the evening times, then you would have no problem. Paypal and ebay currently have at any one time hundreds of people chasing money, and for bigger things than wheels. |
