eGay Wheel Scam

[upSLIDEdown]

Look at this scam artist. Listed these wheels (Same as Sportmax/FAST wheels, but with a nismo sticker on them...) trying to pass them off and nismo wheels... When someone called him on it, he said he bought them from Thailand from "Yasho Factory" and he was billed for them as "nismo" wheels. Such a crock!!

Just wanted to make sure any newbs looking at them would know better...

I have those sport max wheels.... 17x9, look really good actually. Same ones, gunmetal with machined lip. They are on my daily driver, so they worked well for me. OH! and that guy on e-bay is dumb, they aren't 25lbs a piece. I weighed them, a little over 19 a piece.

Yea and the bidding is up to 1400.... maybe I should go buy sport max and slap a nismo sticker on them.

[upSLIDEdown]

I like em too, that's why I have em in 18x8.5/9.5, but that wasn't the point. Did you look at the auction I posted. He's trying to pass them off as NISMO wheels...and the auction is up to $1400 with tires. You could buy the same wheels/tires for somewhere around $900 and put the same $5 Nismo stickers on them like he did...

Yeah, I'm thinking about reporting him to EBAY, but down in the comment section, he said they were sold to him as NISMO and that's why they're listed that way, which I think is a crock of shit. I think the auction should be closed before someone gets screwed...

i fell bad for the schmuck who gets them

[nlzmo400r]

wow, that really sucks........I can't believe he's actually trying to pass that off. Since when do LMGT4s come in FOUR LUG???!!!!!!!! stupid people

[sepulchral]

as do i but there are gullible people out there and if your stupid enough to buy those you're stupid enough to be scammed.

[technine]

yeah but still, i feel bad

[Mervyn]

lol @ yashio factory in thailand

[projectRDM]

And there it is.

People wouldn't sell cheap stuff or lie about it if there weren't ignorant idiots to buy it. I don't feel any remorse for a person who gets fucked on buying something, he's the one who doesn't know enough to research the product before buying.

I saw this earlier before this post. Had a good laugh. Someone was asking him if they fit a 350Z...

[technine]

haha, i read that too,

[TurDz]

yeah, the 350Z comment was just funny. I can't believe there are 350Z owners who don't have any idea about basic stuff like wheel fitment (4 vs. 5 lug, haha).

[m0rex]

Yeah 4-100/ 4-4.5 bolt pattern 38 offset = fake wheels.

[CMO]

Damn, I got the same wheels on my daily s13 and they are just sitting now that tranny has went out. I may need to slap a Nismo sticker on and sell mine.

[HyperTek]

the guys from Connecticut, haha i can imagine he would think those where originally nismo if he ordered from a thailand shop yosho factory.. lol

upSlidedown, you spelled it wrong, Its Ebay, not eGay..

[SochBAT]

You didn't know about Yosho Factory? Dude, that guy is soo cool. he's green, red chill boots, and for somereason, wears a saddle. Good man, great deals.

Scamming is gay tho. Ebay is a great place to shop, but beware the Sharks.

[Stock-S13]

Yeah 4-100/ 4-4.5 bolt pattern 38 offset = fake wheels.


NOt to mention the LMGT4 never came with such a vast amount of lip, the center cap is all wrong the spoke don't have the LM sunken face. If you buy, I laugh and call you a dumbass.

Those look nothing like them for christs sake, really. You should have just posted this thread as "look what I found."

"18x7.5" Rays WOULD fucking have a laugh about that one.

[fuzzy_tanit]

dam retard like that put bad name for other people.
I'm from Thailand and i seen some fake stuff but we don't go out and sell them as real ones.
but the idoits who think those wheel are actually authentic nismo is even more retarded.

some people just don't know no better

[zero.counter]

Fuck that guy. He can't even spell Thailand right much less slap a $3 sticker on some cheapo whored wheels...

[infinitexsound]

u know its cool........ let him sell it...karma is gonna be a problem when he gets reported to the police for selling faulty shit....

[Sil-Abc]

we should keep bidding till it goes up to 10k and never pay :D

[91CRXsiR]

he doesnt even know how to scam right.. ur suppose to HIDE those questions not make them public.. doofus

[240silvia]

Yea that was pretty stupid. He should of def hid the questions.

[technine]

yeah bid it up to 10k so he doesnt sell em!!!

[tastyratz]

i love the fact that everyone who asks him a question is an "ass ass ass ass"

[Yoshi]

I dunno guys... look at the progression of his attitude after the first post. Given that he has zero negative feedback, I'd buy the "thiland" story... tho I doubt he bought them direct, I'm betting he bought htem off someone else, or off another ebay seller and was duped himself (clearly he's an idiot, we all agree on that).

Now that he realized he's a mook, he's trying to recoop his having gotten scammed by trying to scam someone else. At this point he's just trying not to look like a Mark. Too bad he sucks at that too.

[chlatboy]

fukken gay. Imma go buy some advan stickers and put them on some wheels and sell them.

[makav3li]

i emailed him this
if i buy your rims will you include a bunch of nismo stickers so i can make everything else in my car nismo as well?

then he replies

are you sure there is enough room on your rice box for yet another sticker, why don't u slap one on your 3 tier aluminum wing

I found that quite amusing indeed :rofl:

[SochBAT]

Thats Hater. But duping others after being duped isn't right. Thats y i don't conduct Ebay business.

That and i don't have Paypal, or a creditcard of anykind.

[raen419]

wow, that really sucks........I can't believe he's actually trying to pass that off. Since when do LMGT4s come in FOUR LUG???!!!!!!!! stupid people
lm gt4's have been available in 4 lug since nismo started selling them.

[A Spec Products]

lm gt4's have been available in 4 lug since nismo started selling them.
