Thumbs down for jmlillig traded me 17x7.5 rims when he said 17x8.

I was told by two different tire specialist that you don't have to use hub centric rings. One of which is at discount tire in decoto. Also, I noted that I've ran those setup no problem personally, but I NEVER forced him to trade if he wasn't comfortable. Please don't be bias and hear out both parties. To be nice I even offered him two buyers if he wanted to sell them.

For future buyers, if you don't feel safe buying the wheels from me then don't. I'm not forcing anyone...don't give me negative reputation for lack of research on your part. In addition, if you don't trust me with these wheels then ask jmlillig about them, it was his.

Me personally... This thread is another one that should be dumped in the garbage.

You're trying to sell something on i-club... so put the info on... i-club. How hard is that for people to figure out. I don't want to have to jump around sites.

I'm glad you posted up all of the info on craigslist... that's awesome. Now post it up on i-club... and include photos. EVERYONE is going to ask to see photos. Why would I drive 1.5 hours to look/buy wheels just because you say they're in good shape.

Take a photo of each wheel and each tire. Period.

And post the info here. not on craigslist. not on nasioc. not on ebay. on iclub.

This is what I'm talking about. In my transaction with this seller, he had no knowledge of what he was selling. And instead of admitting it, he gave me false information. If you read my ad for the Rota Grids, it says they are 17x8 so I don't know what he is talking about. Bump for a shady guy who doesn't belong on this forum.

It isn't about forcing me to buy them or not buy them. It's the FACT that you lied. Yes I should have done more research on hubcentric adapters but I trusted a fellow I-club member. However, the information you gave me is clearly not true. The fact you were trying to get rid of an extremely unsafe wheel set up. So good job.

Also, I just read your ad for the wheels I just traded you. what does Color is "metal metallic grey but kinda bronze-ish also" even mean? Quick Google search shows you they are Gun Metal. Also, the tires don't have 1,500 miles on them. I just traded you for them, and I told you they have 3,000 miles.

Here's the link to my old ad, with the REAL facts and pictures:

nice try bro, look at that link it was last edited today at 6:20 pm. why would you edit something thats sold? to make me look stupid? Thanks.

Im not going to argue over reputation and its seemingly stupid to argue with you here. Bring a third party and we can all meet and take the wheels off my car and see in the back that its stamped 17x75. Agree to disagree, this is my last post about you and that trade.

EDIT: Proving my point. Check out this screenshot I just took, seems like you forgot to edit your other post. Good job!

Oh would you look at that you just contradicted yourself bud...first you say its 17x8 on your first post here, then the following post you linked us to an OLD tread you have about the wheels having 17x7.5 with 3000 miles(which was edited today btw)...BUT you forgot to edit another old post which stated 17x8 with 1000 miles on them on 11/28/12. So what is it really?

Lets say you are right about accusing me with all these information you claim about what I traded you, but how are you any better when you are trading the same wheels and adapters WITHOUT warning them first if you really believe what you claim. Trying to get rid of extremely unsafe wheels setup? Good job (see his screenshot pic of his ad below, did this to make sure he doesnt edit the post yet again to try to twist the story) LINK: https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal...apters-246863/

Finally, how are you to judge me about not knowing anything about my parts when you dont even know how to post the adapter info the right way?

Ill admit, I got the color wrong because they were so dirty when I got them I thought the brake dust was the color. Sorry guys it is in fact Gun Metal! woohoo!
