Help!
Thought i was buying an ED30 wheel because that was what they said it was off but......
My original wheel has CH029 with ET51 and a VW logo
Flebay wheel says CH024 ET54 and Audi logo.
Not a correct colour match either!
Any ideas on this wheel from ebay?
Right gutted :sad1:
-
Thats one of the 8" wide ones isnt it? As fitted to the A3. If you can find another, fit them to the rear for the staggered look.

Cheers, not!! :sick:

get your money back ?
-
Sorry but if it's not what was described in the ad then you have grounds to open a dispute and ask for a refund.
-
Paid by Paypal, so hopeful.
Advert said it was off an Edition 30!!
Is it an Audi wheel?

you have a link to the advert ?
was it this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK5-EDITION-30-18-ALLOY-WHEEL-SUIT-GTi-R32_W0QQitemZ150369904749QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET?hash=item2302bea86d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Here is the link:-

The ad is very misleading but TBH there a lot of clues this isn't an Edition 30 wheel like the offset and the part number starting 8PO.
But you do have a case for a refund IMHO.
-
Guess I should of asked you guys first!
Would it even go on an ED30?

yes but it would be wrong offset of course
-
SO why would someone have them on an ED30? or do you think someones been conned along the way apart from me!!

well, who knows what they came of you only have his word, it could be someone did the staggered thing as above, or they had been conned too, or the seller didnt really know what an edition 30 was etc etc, best thing to do is contact him, if no luck just do a case through paypal, its no use to you

3mm spacer, VW logo centre cap.....should be same as ED30 Pescara's then????
colour match would be a problem tho!
-
tried the centre cap, slightly different fit, ok if you like spinners i suppose! :surprised:

Is it definitely 7.5", as if not, its not as simple as a 3mm spacer.
-
You can go on PayPal and refund your money back yourself.. do it quickly...
I forget what its called.. its an instant refund to whoever you gave the money...

well of course but i'm assuming its a 7.5J rim from what th OP has said.

....
Make sure you grab a screenshot asap of the seller's advert page on eBay - It may provide helpful evidence if a dispute escalates.
Although the details of the ET etc may not match what the wheel should be, the title is clearly misleading even if it wasn't intentional. It could be the result of the seller's ignorance.
Obviously try and come to an amicable agreement - The fact that you have attempted to do so would greatly strengthen any subsequent judgement in your favour.
-
As suggested above this wheel is a A3 wheel. 7.5x18 ET54
The correct part number for this is 8P0601025R looks as they missed a 0 out.

Cheers for the info, It will hopefully help in me getting my money back.
He did say to me he had a set of these for sale so I wonder who else has fallen into this con?
Also I guess you are a distributor for BBS?

....But is it really a premeditated con?
I haven't spent any time studying the eBay page in detail but I'm wondering if it's just yet another case of ignorance and misinformation so common on eBay.
-
I think you are probably correct.
:happy2:

following from redrobin's take, see attached screenshot.
@cossy

Quick update.
The wheel is being sent back, the chap said as soon as the carrier collected will get a refund on Paypal.
Lodged the usual dispute with pay pal to cover my arse though.
Fingers crossed! :wink:

Good news, I have got my money back.
All of it without any charges for carrier taken off, well chuffed.
that was a close one!! :smiley: :pomppomp: :congrats:
