    Looks like he took the picture withe the logo off the auction but is still trying to sell them as real.

    I suggest we watch the item and send a message to any bidders.

    If your parents paid for it, it ain\'t yours!

    ... honestly i would not buy rims off of ebay (unless they are new)

    who knows what condition they are in - maybe all bent. why do you think they put them on ebay ?


    ... and if you think you can get your money back with ebays system - BULLSHIT GOOD LUCK!!!!

    My ex-girlfriend was selling an authentic Louis Vuitton purse that she had that was old and the auction got pulled within hours b/c they claimed it was fake!!!! But it was real!!! Better pics later and it was relisted until it sold...

    Anyway, why does eBay monitor purses but not car parts. Type "AMG wheels" into a search and see how many fakes you pull up. Same with body kits. Its messed up. If I was Brabus I would threaten to sue eBay unless they stopped being a channel to sell the fakes. I saw on 60 Minutes that that is what Louis Vuitton did, maybe why eBay has an itchy trigger finger to delete LV auctions....

    That's true but most of the auction just have the AMG BRABUS etc. . . in there title, most will tell if you if they are style or replica. But this guy is just selling it as Real which is a big NO NO!!!
    Got BRABUS?
