That price would worry me. $245 for 4 rims? Even if they are used reps. That price is so low.

Plus, he didn't post his own pic.

I don't think the center bore is correct ... and the offset in the description is 40 but in the auction it's something else.

This seller has NO feedback and has not previously sold (at least under this auction ID) on EBAY. That is a KEEP AWAY indicator! Especially for something as expensive as wheels.

There are "reputable" replica sellers on the forum if that's the route you want to go.

X2. With 0 feedback I wouldnt even consider it. Go with an actual retailer I would say.

The guy has never sold nor bought anything from ebay...I would not trust the guy whats so ever....When buying used wheels, its hard to trust people you don't know...You could easily end up getting a bent wheel or something...I would buy new, unless you could get some one to check them first..
