Got the same set off eBay brand new for $1450 shipped w/ tires, but they're not stock. Nice wheels nonetheless.

why even post this here?

Same wheels, paid 3x less...you think my X5 really cares if it's rolling on reps or the real deal? They look and do the same thing, so why not share the information for those going for the same look? I fail to see what's so funny about that

i dont know of a nicer way to say this but you are the dumbest person i have ever met!

People like you would wear a fake $150 Rolex and actually feel good about it.....and think that it does the same thing "tells time" just like a $15,000 Rolex would....its exactly the same difference between the wheels you bought and the wheels I am selling

The reason of my previous post was to let you know that your comment was not appreciated and if you are not interested in buying them please dont try to knock my FS thread!

JarJar Binks (that voice and name come to my head everytime I see your screen name ), my $200 guess watch does tell the same time as your $15,000 Roley. I also realize there is a HUGE difference between the production line of a Hyundai and a BMW. Your stock wheels are cast in the same process as mine, and for all we know, in the same factory in Mexico since even BMW is outsourcing nowadays.

These have been "on sale" going on over three months w/o a pricedrop, you might or might not be a scam artist from another forum, then your'e going to compare a simple watch to an intricate timepiece made w/ completely different production procedures (once again, my wheels are cast, just like yours), and all the while these still haven't sold...but i'm the dumbass. Sure, maybe the difference between reps and factory might be a few pounds, but selling for 3x the price...you're selling weight in the wrong business then.

"People like me" are fine w/ reps, then "People like you" might only want factory parts, so if someone wants only factory parts, my post won't sway them either way. My post was informative (this is a forum to share information, no?), while your reply was to start insulting and make wild comparisons..., hey, to each their own. Nonetheless, as I said before, nice wheels. GLWS

Well, I am not going to argue any more with you about this because obviously you dont know what you are talking about but would like to point out a few things -

1/ These Style 300M wheels are forged not cast

2/ Buyer/Looker Guidelines

• If you see an item you are interested in, contact the buyer directly to complete the transaction. Do not assume that the item is yours until you and the seller have agreed that it is yours.
• This is not the place to debate or comment on the price of the item or your personal preferences about it, good or bad. If you don't like the price or something about the item, don't buy it and move on.
• If you choose to purchase an item that you have found here in the classifieds then you do so at your own risk knowing fully that this is a private party transaction. You agree that Xoutpost is not responsible for any sales that do not turn out as you expected them to.

I hope that clears things up for you. I have sold many sets of these same rims and other 20" and 21" OEM sets for prices higher than what I have listed here for the forum members.

Oh and yes, you are right you cant sway away people who can afford these wheels to buy replicas on ebay just like you cant sway someone to buy a replica rolex when he can afford a an authentic one. You kow why? because they know better

and no matter what you say, its the exact same comparison - replica rolex Vs. Authentic Rolex or a replica LV bag Vs. an authentic one.....wherever there is a replica of an original my comparison works....

jaijai,
I have no dawg in this fight, but you might consider renewing your Premo membership to hump stuff here.

The issue of the OE parts vs replica is an old argument that comes down to the individual doing the buying. I have come to learn that usually there is a reason for things to be cheap or expensive but at the end of the day an informed buyer needs to do the research on it. As much as I appreciate the heads up on reasonably priced parts, I feel someone's for sale thread is not the right place for it. The correct course of action would be to contact the seller and negotiate a price acceptable to both parties.

so... are you willing to lower the price?
