Its a risk. Some people are honest, some are not.

I bought some C7 wheels for my C230 off ebay, the guy said they were in great condition and when i got them all the wheels were curbed, scracted, and chiped all over, and the tires were bald with steel showing!

Now, if someone was to buy my SSR GT3s off ebay (which I sold already). They were REALLY mint. So it all depends who you are dealing with.

That guy seems to have sold alot, i am sure it would be ok. There only cheap since there replicas.

Those wheels DO NOT fit your C32 without spacers.

They are replicas, two-piece look-a-like, do you know that? Are you happy to put on a set of replicas on a C32? I would rather suggest you to get the ASA wheels that Tirerack sells, at least they are made by a BBS licenced manufacturer.
