My Ride: BMW 545i, SilverGray with 30% tint all around
Default

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:

Tell me if you guys can spot wehre the rim is damaged

Yep, 2 pm...or is it am? 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?

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:
