just bought a set of 18's for my bmw , guy had them for sale for a mate for a while ,lightly scuffed and needed one new tyre , private sale but he took paypal from me , so shot upto glasgow for them the night , came home thought **** it jacked the car up at 22.30 and guess what they dont fit :( :( :( he assured me they fitted a bmw as his mate had them on his bmw ... so measured the pcd an dits ******* 5x110 , no where near ****** 5x120 ... they are for a saab or a 5 stud vectra ..
Phoned him and emailed him but no reply was think of going down the refund option from paypal but ot sure how it works for a private sale as usually its through ebay ...
am sooooooo gutted ... the wheels would have looked trick too ... Edited for language and English content Edited by Nigel |

Stick on a claim to paypal as unfortunately they always seem to get your money back (Not great when you are a seller) You will no doubt have to send goods back first,but i have have had many refunds (Honest ones i might add) |

i thought that but wantted to speak to the guy first , because i need to take them back up and he could just say he ever got them back , so then id have no money and no wheels ... would have rather been on good terms with the guy gone up and got him to refund my money while i was standing there ... and then check my paypal account so i know its went in , either that or go up and get cash for the return of the wheels , either way am gutted and not letting it go, cos you dont advertise wheels for a totally different car .. !!!!!!! still gutted thought i d be on 18's tomorrow ..

do paypal have any say in the sale itself i always thought they just processed the transaction.
don't think you will be able to got through ebay tho if it was a private sale. just go up with the BMWCC possy and demand a refund  |

all i meant was that my normal transactions are through ebay - paypal ,
never knew the ins and outs of a private sale and the difference of their protection policy covers the seller /buyer or not .. Edited by Nigel |

just measured them they are 5x110 et 40 , fits 5 stud vuaxhalls and saab 93 ,95,900 ...
I know the offset was 40 but had everyintention of using 15 mm spacers as it only on 215/35/18 rubber so would have got away with it ... well gutted ... ive emailed .phoned , texted, and left a message on the forum so will need to wait and see if he gets in contact ... also put them up for sale again so if they sell so be it , if not , i know where he stays!!!!

Your not allowed to post it yourself, but someone else can link to them as an item of interest to others ( I know, I know, I don't make the rules). Pm me the link, I'll post it if you wish |

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. |

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

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 ...

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
