unfortunately bud, there does seem to be a disparity between what some people on here class as good condition and what actually turns up :(

least paid with paypal, good luck with refunds

ok buyer, if you are not happy ask for a refund and send them back at your expense, if buyer does not agree go through paypal, BUT that is not a bad price £180.00 for those wheels as a set of 5, as a mint set of 4 will be £300.00


Seller your advert says a set of wheels + a spare, so you need to send him the 5th wheel

Thank you oh wise one :) Ive already done that twice and he's going on about the second offer I gave to settle this.

I also understand centre caps are not cheap and that even budget tyres have a price. But I was buying these for the alloys. I dont think I need to make it any clearer. The tyres and centre caps just made it sweeter so I bought this set rather than the several others for sale on here.

I'll contact paypal later today.

Happier. But id still be annoyed he misrepresented the condition and pulled a fast one with the 4 pictures of 2 of the wheels.

I suppose a full refund is a pain in the arm too paying £30 to be bqck where I started

Well he'll be reading all this. A full refund or the 5th wheel plus £30 for a centre cap would do I suppose.

And, as I posted previously, 3 of the pictures you linked to are from September last year - no not even current pictures.

There is no way that is anything but deliberate misrepresentation.

That should help you. He isn't bothered about the tyres! It is the condition of the alloys and the centre caps he is disputing, and the fact you sent 4 not 5 wheels.


This thread is amazing by the way...and it reminds me I have a full set of scabby 4 (yes, four, not five), with one of those being slightly buckled that I need to sell...at some point, might list them as mint and find someone else's pictures. :D

I added alloys into that after. I said they look like they had been used and abused and he jumped on the tres as justification.

I'm not angry I just want it resolved.

Am I the only one who doesn't even entertain people who can't use correct spelling, grammar and syntax in an advert? Generally if they sound like a retard, they normally are.

Good luck Paul, the world of e30's really hasn't been kind to you!

Come on Paul, cheer us up and post up some pics of the tyres or at least tell us the brand/brands. I am guessing your rimz have a matching set of Michelins with an even 7mm across the tread.........

Gosh! This brings back memories! :D

The advert is extremely misleading and the pics are not the wheels you have received. Be patient and keep the pressure on the guy to resolve the matter. Any one know whether he's a regular poster or a newbie looking for a victim? Either way keep pushing!

Kangy; with my charm and persuasive ways, I managed to get cash back. Made for a very reasonably priced set of wheels, complete with working centre caps! :D

I would yeah, Iv dealt with CNTZ like you and i fully believe sellers and generally people in the E30 game with your morales and attitude are fucking scum. Selling goods youve lied about the quality and even quantity and then act the cunt knowing full well your in the wrong.
