Default Warning Carrara Sport Wheels on Craigslist and Facebook - buyer beware

Just a heads up. The guys who burned their own 997 for insurance money are still trying to sell the original wheels (which were removed prior to the arson).

http://www.wafb.com/story/36797793/t...burned-porsche

If you see a "good deal" Carrara Sport Wheels 99736215655 (8.5 x 19" ET55) and 99736216255 (11.5 x 19" ET67), Caveat emptor = buyer beware!
You'll probably see them on craigslist and Facebook. I have the links, but I'm not going to "advertise" for them, but the wheels will be coming from Louisiana.

i bought a set of of carrera sport wheels couple weeks ago on ebay that came from Louisiana but they came bent and not as described. However the seller was kind of enough to take them back and issue full refund and cover the shipping back. The name was different than in the article as well, so probably not the same set.

A little polishing compound and she'll be as good as new.

Not the brightest trio?

"...a pair of pliers was found at the scene which had a last name written on the handle", "Detectives discovered that Herndon was advertising the Porsche tires and wheels for sale on Facebook".
