I think he is legit, I was gonna maybe look at them for my C Klass, but he was saying they were C63 wheels not E63 or are they the same?

different. thats what makes no sense he claims to have E63 wheels and an E63, yet he know nothing about the wheel offset, shows a picture of someone elses car, then pictures that were already used to defraud a member here

It's never a good sign when they're new to the forum and trying to sell something using highly controversial pictures that were used in other scam(s)

Why's the dude such a D-bag? He got awfully angry and defensive, really quick. That's never a good sign. Especially for someone who registered this month and is selling wheels with no original photo.

For sure, he needs to post actual pictures.

The "they're in storage" story SCREAMS scam. Nobody should be allowed to post in Classifieds before hitting 100 posts.

He seem to be very defensive on this discussion. I mean, how hard is it to just snap a few pics and post.. He can surely find out the offset on these wheel easily by contact the wheel shops or dealers...thanks Juicee63 for doing the research on scamming issue!! and let keep on

It has to be legit. Any scammer who states he will not ship and will only deal in person would have to be deeply retarded.

Maybe he only deals in person after payment! Then poof. Sorry you should not come to this site with poorly written ads using scam pics and not expect a bomb to not go off. Perhaps the OP will snap some pics of his lockup, car and wheels and we can press on with his sale

Not necessarily, there are plenty of ways to scam you in person..... but then again, you have to entertain the possibility that some of them are just that stupid

Anybody remember the guy from the C63 section who had a potential buyer for his C63 over only to have the guy jump in the drivers' seat and almost run him over while stealing it?

There was another incident (also in the ultra-classy world of the C63) where a C63 owner mugged a fellow member.

Just because you're going to be in person doesn't mean you're safe.

Just make sure your 9mm is clearly visible above the waistline upon your walk up his driveway (or storage unit). And if legit, put a cap in each tire for acting illegit.

Ok he is supposedly on the way to his storage unit to get the wheels, lol then he is having them put on as his damaged customs are removed from his E63. Then he is going to snap a pic of his car and rims.

Is someone here creating this to stir up entertainment?? seriously

There was never a thread about it, but a good friend of all of ours was literally held up by an inflammatory member of the C63 crew. It's still being dealt with in the courts so I'd rather not get too detailed.

Wasn't that a case of coincidental assault because one didn't like the other?
