just measured them they are 5x110 et 40 , fits 5 stud vuaxhalls and saab 93 ,95,900 ...

 

I know the offset was 40 but had everyintention of using 15 mm spacers as it only on 215/35/18 rubber so would have got away with it ... well gutted ... ive emailed .phoned , texted, and left a message on the forum so will need to wait and see if he gets in contact ... also put them up for sale again so if they sell so be it , if not , i know where he stays!!!!

Try "Sale of Goods Act" - fitness for purpose

the only phrase you need to memorise is 'The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)'.

The 'as amended' is important because it refers to laws which have extended the basic 1979 Act and using the phrase tells the trader that not only do you know basic consumer law, you know it has been amended too.

The Sale of Goods Act lays down several conditions that all goods sold by a trader must meet.

The goods must be:

  • as described
  • of satisfactory quality
  • fit for purpose

all i meant was that my normal transactions are through ebay - paypal ,

 

never knew the ins and outs of a private sale and the difference of  their protection policy covers the seller /buyer or not ..

do paypal have any say in the sale itself i always thought they just processed the transaction.

don't think you will be able to got through ebay tho if it was a private sale.

just go up with the BMWCC possy and demand a refund

i thought that but wantted to speak to the guy first , because i need to take them back up and he could just say he ever got them back , so then id have no money and no wheels ...

would have rather been on good terms with the guy gone up and got him to refund my money while i was standing there ... and then check my paypal account so i know its went in , either that or go up and get cash for the return of the wheels , either way am gutted and not letting it go, cos you dont advertise wheels for a totally different car ..

!!!!!!! still gutted thought i d be on 18's tomorrow ..

Stick on a claim to paypal as unfortunately they always seem to get your money back (Not great when you are a seller)

You will no doubt have to send goods back first,but i have have had many refunds (Honest ones i might add)

just bought a set of 18's for my bmw , guy had them for sale for a mate for a while ,lightly scuffed and needed one new tyre , private sale but he took paypal from me , so shot upto glasgow for them the night , came home thought **** it jacked the car up at 22.30 and guess what they dont fit :( :( :( he assured me they fitted a bmw as his mate had them on his bmw ... so measured the pcd an dits ******* 5x110 , no where near ****** 5x120 ... they are for a saab or a 5 stud vectra ..

 

Phoned him and emailed him but no reply was think of going down the refund option from paypal but ot sure how it works for a private sale as usually its through ebay ...

 

am sooooooo gutted ... the wheels would have looked trick too ...
