Hey guys,

Long story short I got scammed by another member here on My350z. Traded my set of Gram lights for his "TE37s." Turns out they are replicas with real rays valve stems and decals( I did not put them on, and am planning on removing them prior to sale). Im just trying to minimize my losses here, so Im asking $1000 for these. They are beautiful wheels, and are in great shape, no dents cracks or scratches. Im not sure what brand they are exactly, but they are much lighter than varrstoens. Sizes are 18x10.5 +15 all around.

$1000 picked up or $1100 shipped. I am willing to split into pairs. $500 each.

If you want tires we can negotiate those into price as well.

Text me if interested. 805 4two8 7800.

Wheels are dusty in the pictures. Ill send more upon request.

 

Damn that sucks, good luck with sale though

 

Sucks bro. But I can tell from youe pics rhey are fakes. You should of done your hw. Anyways, beautiful wheels glws.

 

They could be the rota grid. glws

 

Wow put that member on blast. So the rest know from now on.

 

Yup, who's the member?

I see the possible suspect among one of your recent trader transactions.

 

Me too... Sucks man.

 

I c I c......

 

Definitely should have asked the guy you traded with for close up pictures of the embossed text around the outer edge of authentic volks.

 

How pray tell could you have known from those pictures?
Seems like it's pretty easy to say "oh that's so obvious" after the fact.

Why don't you go through the multiple TE37's in our classifieds and to help other members who may not be as knowledgeable as you. Mr. connoisseur.

OP If this was an online transaction, have you had a chance to speak with Paypal?

 

Using this as a reference is not enough to tell its authenticity. The majority of 18" te37s don't have the embossed text. I think for the 18s they didn't start doing that til 2011 even though the 19s and 20s had it. The lips look a little too deep though. It's a pretty color, should sell easily even for replicas. glws

 

Thanks guys, Yeah I was told they were pre 2010, in which case they are dead on. Some pre 2010 don't even say rays on the INSIDE. However I sent photos to a friend at mackin and he confirmed they are replicas. Either way, BigRez was the seller, and it was in person.

 

Thats sh!tty, beautiful set of reps tho

 

Sorry to hear about this op, and this is ONE of the issues when dealing with the fake/reps/knock off/copies etc car parts.

 

And to think of all the knock off apologists who always say things like 'what do you wheel snobs have against replica companies blah blah'

Its chit like this

 

Sale pending
