Interested in the rotas you have fore sale on Craig's list. What condition are they in?
Great condition
Could you send me some more pictures please? I have wanted rotas for a while now.
Great condition
Repeating "great condition" does not make me want to purchase the wheels from you. Could you send me some pictures of each wheel please.
(Now he sends me the same picture on Craigslist from a different number)
That is the same picture from your Craigslist add. I would like close up pics of each rim so I can make sure they are not that set with one cracked spoke that some idiot keeps trying to sell as new.
That is definately not my wheels. I can take close up pics on my lunch ...im at work currently

I was trolling him yesterday. Not such a bad guy...
AT first i offered 230 and he said yea then i said 130 then he said 150. He kept saying its all perfect just a small scratch. No dents or cracks. After a while.. he told the truth and said there was a crack and said hed sell them to me for 100 lol

id rather be proactive and let a loser know what hes doing is wrong. and for "knowing better" you dont know me or anything about me,so worry less about me and more about yourself.
the fact is my friend with a 04 wrx was giving some thought to picking up a set of nice summer wheels and using his current rashed rotas as a winter wheel. since im off,i figured i could do the leg work for him. ive already driven 300 plus miles in the last week looking at wheels,and guess what- EVERY person has claimed to have "perfect wheels" when in fact they are thrashed.
if i want to mess with someone while at the same time get the point across that what he doing is messed up,well thats my choice.
and as a community,isnt the idea to help out other memebers when the time comes? ive loaned tools,gotten peoples money back,towed broken down cars,offered up free parts and i even offered up my home to people who traveled long distances to get work done on their car at EQ so they dont have to spend money on a hotel.
what i do is my choice,and how i do it is pretty effective.

jesus,theres always one. maybe he does have a friend on here and just maybe he will adjust his ad to say hes got 3 rims for spares. my worry is some person new to the subaru scene will buy these and not notice the crack,then either gets a bad taste and brings a poor attitude to the forum or worse,wrecks. and before someone says a tire shop would catch it,i know many people who use the DIY tire mounting machine on TAFB.
either way i think its important to put this guy in check. i mean really,theres already 2 threads about it.

hollllyyy shiiiiiit! I jsut saw this thread!! I swear it's not me!! I returned the wheels to the guy the next day! lol
the description matches the guy but he used to drive a mazda3 back then but he was talking about wantin a wrx...
he seemed like a nice person and was very apologetic when I emailed him back, but not sure if he was just nice or he just got scared when I said that he left the mailing label with his name and address on the box because he called from blocked number and never emailed with a real address...
I saw the warning add on CL the other day and was like jeez someone else got screwed by him and then I looked at the pics and they looked super familiar! and then realized those were the pics I took! lol
anyways... sorry to disappoint but I swear it's not me! I drive a 11 wrx and I'm middle eastern last time I checked at the airport random cavity search list....

I don't think anyone thought it was you 611X. We all saw that you returned them and got your money back. We where just flaming on the other dude who knew they where cracked and was trying to sell them as OK.

But I wonder if it's the same guy or maybe he sold them as he advertised them to someone else and the new guy with the 04 wrx is the douche .. cause that guy was a super nice guy and he had the real honest ad running on CL for a long time, I can't imagine he decided to become a ***** and change it completely!
