I'll have a look for that when i take it apart

If i'm home i'll definately be there, in the supe as well if its not snowing lol.

My father inlaw bought a car a few years ago that a boat builder had made. The whole chassis was made of wood that the guy had painstakingly bent and carved into shape. The craftmanship was unreal. Its amazing how much effort some people are willing to put into something they truly love.

Agreed.

Thats exactly how i saw them Dnk, just in need of a bit of TLC around the rims lips where they were curbed. That isnt going to be a problem, i can do this myself no problem. Its the scores all around the lips that i'm contesting.

Thankyou for posting up the pictures, it saves me the hassle. The bottom one is the one you polished up to showcase the wheels. How long did that take you can i ask? However long it was, are you trying to say you didnt notice the marks AT ALL? Thats what you have claimed. Now i know what i am looking for, i can see them even at this resololution, did i notice it before..no...is it a hell of alot more noticeable now that i have them in my person....Yes !

I thought you might come on here and post something up to defend your "reputation", now i'm going take apart everything you just said. I have all texts, PM's and the add to back up my story, you have "i told him on the phone", and while were on it, you most certainly DID NOT tell me they needed new lips, thats something you've added further along in the text messages to cover yourself, and is, quite frankly, one of MANY indiscrepencies in your accounts. So lets begin shall we. 1.) I told him they where curbbed and that there chrome coating was coming away in some areas, he was happen enough and said he was going to refurb them. True, you told me they were curbed amd that there was very minor chrome coating come away that could hardly be noticed. Upon inspection, this was accurate and i am happy with it. What you FAILED to mention is that they're are deep scores along the entire circumfrance of the lip from where someone has clamped onto them. When i first text you about this today, you said that didnt think it was an issue as "most people you know would just chuck them on". How is deep score marks along all 4 wheels not an issue, OR worthy of note in a For Sale add. Later on in the texts, you then claim that you had no idea these marks were even there> Explain to me how someone of your experience, a trader, can polish up an entire centre section of a wheel, and not notice something that is so glaringly obvious to an amateur in 5 seconds flat. Ontop of that, explain to everyone how you can make a decision on something that you feel is not relevant, when you apparently dont even know the issue is there in the first place. Are you clairvoyant? 2.) Today i got a text saying there where scores all around the inner rim.. i was unaware of this so i looked at my own pictures and saw there was marks and i surgested maybe someone had tryed to clamp the wheel with a tyre machine as they maybe reverese loading wheels.. he took this as i was aware of the marks and that i was with holding info as to get a sale.. unreal So you are offically saying you were unaware of the marks, despite being as experenced as above as you have so aptly told in your opening paragraph. These are the same alloys were talking about here right, the ones you laid out on the floor and took pictures of, the one you spent time on polishing upto showcase it, but you didnt notice deep score marks throughout the entire circumfrance of the lip....on all 4 wheels...that took me about 2 seconds to notice....your correct it one thing, it is unreal. 3.) I did say to him on the phone to give a once over and maybe get some new lips for them later on Wholeheartedly UNTRUE !! If you told me that, then i wouldnt have bought them, end of story. You told me they were curbed, that is all. Curbing is an easy fix. 4.) he thinks i said this because i knew about the problem. I never made any assumption of the sort, you just did by typing it. I accused you of knowing about it because its SO F'ING OBVIOUS !! The rest of your reply i wont even both going into, the whole "Sold as seen, and You should have come to see them" is a massive cop out and you know it. I called you on the phone to talk about them because i was UNABLE to come see the wheels, and i trusted your evaluation was both fair and trueful. It was neither. You purpsefully neglected to tell me about the damage, or even state it on the add as you knew it would affect the sale of the wheels. To say you didnt think it was worthy of note is pathetic, end of story. It was never about the money, it was about the dishonesty, i dont care if there worth £200 or £2000, your tactically avoided giving an honest descripion of the wheels. They're mine now, as far as i'm concerned i dont want anything more to do with you. I'll have one of OUR traders look at them, the ones i know i can trust and go from there basically. Oh and just as a finishing note, the whole i'm a trader so i must be telling the truth statement just isnt going to fly. Do you really think the folks on here are going to be that obtuse that they believe that a Trader MUST be telling the truth. Its not like there's ever been a trader before that hasnt been honest....

Silver lining mate, chuffed for you that you got them back and that you got the guys details is a billy bonus. I would be going round there regardless of what the police do to confront them if it were me. Not everything has to end in violence, just him knowing that you know it was him would be enough to make sure it didnt happen again and give you a little bit of satisfaction.

Just got them delivered, removed the packaging to check they were all okay and my attention was immediately drawn to what can only be called "circular gauges" in the dish. As i looked further, it became apparent they were going around the entire circumfrance of the dish...on all 4 wheels Looks like someone has clamped onto the dish itself to remove the wheels I've spoken to the seller, he seems to think that because it can be barely seen in the pictures on the For Sale thread, despite him not even bothering to mention it because...and i quote "i didnt think it was worth mentioning" that he is 100% not in the wrong so i'm stuck with trying to repair them. I was planning on refurbing them myself anyway, i just hope that the guages arent too deep as some of them are a few mm in depth. Edit: The guy is now having a go at me for complaining about them and implying he wasnt open and honest throughout the whole transaction. He told me, and i quote from his message directly "i told you they were curbed"....well that makes it all okay then, weirdest curb marks i've ever seen. He also states that he put on the thread that they were marked and needed new dishes, neither is true and ive treble checked that against both the add and the PM's from the guy.

Booyah, festive mode ENGAGED.

Ive deleted all temp internet files, cookies etc. Changed to Default, relogged and still the same. Interestingly though, when i log out, it switches to the christmas theme on the home page without me signed in, when i sign in it reverts back to just the snow flakes.

Teens, eurgh i'll pass thanks, too old for me.

I logged out and back in again and nothings changed. Why is it always me

I'm using Firefox and mine still isnt working, its set to Default and i've switched to blue, black and back to default again and all i have still is some snow flakes falling at the top and bottom of the page.

Cool, i'll get back to you mate

I wouldnt send it back if i were you....you wouldnt want to make it angry

Layout?? Mine just looks exactly the same except for snowflakes falling at the top of the Main Page.

How much are the HID kits Keron. Does it matter if they're for Facelift/prefacelift lights?

Looks the shizzle that Jamesy

I've ordered a new dizzy cap, points set, condensor and rotar arm for the grand sum of £18 sterling delivered, the love for the mini is coming back

What does your bro do in the band? Facebook link didnt work for me?

Sneaky merge then, i was just about to post the link on the othe thread

One of my mates posted this up on Facebook, i'll let the video do the talking. Make sure you watch it past the 2 minute mark, stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VAkOhXIsI0
