look at the picture with the Brabus stamp it has a different lip then the wheels he's trying to sell. Man why are people so Evil??? especially during christmas, I wonder if i Bid 10K for those wheels just for fun, will i get in trouble with Ebay since He's obviously mis-representing his product??

[NISMOPOWERED]

Good eye. Not sure if I would have caught that.

hahaha, man gonna suck whoever buys it thinking its authentic. so evil " Spoke design, multi-piece...Check them on the photos. It's an original item, not replica.
Check the Brabus stamp [on the one piece wheels] on the photo."

On this note, I have some real Brabus multipiece 18's going up for sale in a few days.

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.

WHA HAHA!!!!


... 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!!!!

[Abuimad]

one thing i dont understand..what stops a person from setting up a new account..and bidding and never paying or collecting ?
i only go to ebaymotors...go and check out the cool cars on sale..:D

I emailed the guy and he said that the picture was from his 2nd set of authentic brabus wheels that he's also selling.... :rolleyes:

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....

most giant companies/corporations like ebay dont do shit untill they are sued

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!!!

[Abuimad]

tell that the the person who just bid on them..poor guy
