Be VERY careful before buying from this vendor. I was recently scammed from this seller and I have documented everything on Facebook and currently trying to dispute this with PayPal/credit card. You are free to look at screen shots, my FB post (which I will repost here) and other links where other sellers have had negative experiences.
Hi all, While I take no pleasure in publicly writing negative things about online Porsche retailers, I want to share my recent experience with Samuel Dumbrava and his team and Wise Motorsports (https://wisemotorsports.eu/) in the hope that others take more caution than what I did when trying to purschase a custom coloured rim from him. tldr: I found myself out of pocket around 2.5K AUD with a wrong coloured rim with no acceptable recourse from either him or his team. His only suggestion was to take paintbrush and paint the rim in the colour I want, or find some that can releather the entire thing in under "250 euros”. Unfortunately, I've had to spend another 2K AUD getting it in the right colour as nobody in Australia reupholsters rims in 500 bucks. The long story: I was in the market for a custom 911 paddle shifting rim to replace my old 996 tiptronic rim and unfortunately I couldn't find many people in Oceania who could do such a thing. After finding Sam's posts, chatting to him and speaking to one other buyer in the US, I was reassured that his team was trustworthy and reliable. I had given my interior colour code (graphite grey), together with pictures and was reassured that his "Porsche experts" would find the right colour and match it. His sample leather looked to be of the correct colour, but the problems started with the progress photos. I had warned him that something looked off about the colour and I was reassured that “lighting” and “cameras” was the reason why it looked off. When he sent me final photographs before shipping, I again wasn’t happy, and asked for the rim to be photographed alongside the initial sample leather that I was originally shown. This wasn’t done, and it was shipped off to me instead. Lo and behold, I was correct: the rim was beige, not grey. This is where the problems escalated. Sam’s communication suddenly tanked – at best, I’d get a response once/week, telling me that his factory did in fact use graphite grey leather, no refund will be offered, and no return. He last communication was over a month ago, where he basically accused me of lying when I told him I couldn’t get anyone in Australia to reupholster this at “250 euros”. He claims to have “asked around for a few quotes”, but as usual, no follow up. And lastly, I didn’t think taking a paintbrush and painting the rim grey was an acceptable result for a 2.5K AUD rim. Conclusion: While I accept there may be happy customers, for me, I was effectively cheated out of 2.5K AUD. If you are considering buying from this retailer, please be verycareful and ensure you’re protected with PayPal or credit charge backs. PayPal would only offer me refund if I spent another 200-300 dollars on non-refundable return shipping, so I’ve had to resort to going through my credit card instead. See pictures for my conversations with him. You’re free to also see the comparison pictures.
We offered you the opportunity to paint the leather a darker color and we will cover all costs for this, you refused and asked us to refund you a minimum of $2,000, which is more than the cost of the steering wheel,
You are a real scammer!, you receive the wheel, before delivery you confirmed that the color is good (screenshot are only partial of all discusion), and once you received it, I offered you the opportunity to change the color of the leather by painting and we cover the cost, you refused and only asked for a full refund,
Paypal asked you to send the item back, then they refunded you, return shipping was $60 and $200-$300 like you said! and again you refused to send it back, so here the scmaer are only you !
