As many of you already know, me and fellow member (SilverRush) had a dispute over a set of rims that he had sold me. A couple weeks ago he told me he would return some cash to me to cover a fraction of the repair cost. Now its been two weeks now and still no word from him. he won't reply to any of my messages and he won't answer my phone calls. I really do not recommend doing any business with member SilverRush as he is an unreliable seller.

The following is a previous post regarding the aforementioned dispute:

I see the dent on the top right, about 2:00 area :think:

I see it at the 1:30 area

Yep, definitely seeing it between 1 and 2.

Yes, I can see the dent there too.

Yep, 2 pm...or is it am? :P Sorry, bad joke. :thumbsdown:

Real sorry to hear about this. Hopefully, you get a call back shortly and get your money in the next few weeks. Good luck.

Top right... That dent is very very obvious! and probably very unsafe to drive as well... Hope it all works out for you guys, SilverRush, in the name of business ethics, please at least comment on this thread, i don't mean to sound like an ass, but i've had a few bad transactions and I can feel for Bigfoot... Lets try to resolve this once and for all, this has been going on for too long, don't you think? :thumbsup:

That is why I always buy from the dealers or "the factory" :whistle:

Hey guys,

Just found out SilverRush and Alpine550 is actually the same person. He was advertising his stuff here again yesterday! After I have identified him he change his message to "Wrong msg sorry" trying to cover up his duo identities here. Here's a link to that thread: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=31346. :thumbsdown:

Damn, I almost agreed on the trade.. but why would you want to scam someone for a pair of cheap kidney grills?

Wow...that's a shame. He changed his name so he wouldn't have to face the truth. Such a shame...

Well, at least we know he's in Seattle, WA, should anyone decide to buy from a seller out of there...

Hey guys, I really don't recommend doing business with this guy. He sold me a set of rims where 3 out of the 4 were bent and he is not taking any blame for it. Now I'm going to fix these rims and sell them. I don't believe a member in a forum of such would actually do something like this.

If anyone needs and info on this scan artist, feel free to pm me

Don't distrust all of us from the Seattle area, just him.

Wow, that sucks :thumbsdown: He (Alpine550) wanted to buy my painted Jet Black kidney grilles. Good thing that I waited...

Sell them to him, but send him a brick in a box.

HAHA, that would be soooo wrong in many ways :nono:

Hello Folks,

Indeed SilverRush and Alpine550 are the same person. It seems like he's caused some issues with members here and Iceman found a fairly extensive negative history of this person on many other forums, some of which he was already banned from. For these reasons he's now banned here as well.

"Okay people, nothing more to see here...please move along..."

"You gotta nip it in the bud!"

Thanks Lomag and Iceman... :thumbsup:

Nice job Mark. Just curious though...how do you prevent him from signing on as a new member? Block his IP address?

WOW!!!..good job in making this person out...sorry you had to go through the trouble...good job lomag.ericd

Ey guys, just out of curiousity, anyone interested in a set of 20" Breyton rims (obviously when their repaired)??

if you fixed the rims, just keep it, y sell it :think:

To be completely honest, I just want to get rid of these rims because every time I see them it reminds me of that bastard who sold me bent rims. I know im gonna lose quite a bit if i repair and sell them but in my eyes i think its worth it. I rather just spend the money and get a body kit and do a few other minor mods other than rims.

Any major problems after repair? Of course it won't be 100% but at least how close? How much you gonna ask for it? Without or with repair? I think the Thais have very good shops to repair rims, so i wanna know the price without repair as well. My friend might be very interested, but I dono yet...

Hail to admin! :notworthy:


..."nice" thing is that he ordered under BOTH names 4 wheels from HAMANN too and never replied. :'(
(ok order is only when you pay, but still getting a quote takes time and $$$!!)
we do not like these actions here, if we need nice deals we have to treat this seriously, thx guys, was not for you, many of you are nice and getting nice deals :cool: :thumbsup:

Great job in getting this guy out of here.

This is exactly why I never buy wheels that are not local, not even in ebay. I buy all my used wheels locally. If I'm paying that much money I want to see the product in person. I figure if the seller is not within my driving distance, I won't take the chance regardless of how good the deal might be. I find a ton of great deals on wheels at unbelievable prices, but sometimes if it's too good to be true then it just might be that. And if the seller is a jerk like this guy....you know the rest.

Hey 525iSE,
I believe that their are many people out there who repair bent rims and they turn out to be just fine.

If anyone is interested in buying the damaged or repaired product send me a pm including your location and throw me a price and I'll let you guys know if I'm willing to let them go for that price. The rims are in perfect condition (other the bends that they have). If anyone is interested ill take up close pics of each individual rim so you can see their condition.

Here are a few pics of the rims on the car the day I put the rims on.

Well a buddy of mine is not on this forum, and i'm also interested depending on the price. So why don't you just give us a price? Damaged or fixed? PM me. I need it shipped to Thailand, door to door if possible..
