968 Wheels 17" Misrepresented on Ebay
I went today to look at these 968 Wheels on Ebay:
Ebay Link
and they are NOT as described (near mint) in the auction. Each wheel has problems on the face, they would need to be refinished. One for example had a 1.5" scratch that went through the paint and appeared black. I would have been very dissapointed had I won the auction without inspecting them first.
The seller sent someone he works with to let me view them. He still claimed after I viewed them they were in "concours condition" and only had one small mm mark on them, which certainly is not true. I felt like I was dealing with a used car sales man trying to take advantage of me. The pictures are very misleading.

I think he was just trying to warn a large potential customer population for that auction.

To top it off the seller stated he recently bought some 3 piece wheels on Ebay but they're not on this registration... The wheels are also advertised as being in Scottsdale, AZ and they're really in Tempe, AZ. I just feel bad for whoever might get stuck with these.
