Default ebay strikes again

He is trying to sell these wheels as Prodrive rims and even included a sticker in the advert that shows a pic and descriprion for a P-WRC1 alloy. I reckon he's swopped his 06 WRX wheels and bought some P-WRC1, I've emailed him to see what his excuse is!

SUBARU/PRODRIVE 17" ALLOYS SET OF 4 BRAND NEW IN BOX - eBay Wheel Rims, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 22-Sep-07 23:15:00 BST)

P1 wheels

If he had half a brain he'd realise the picture on the box is of a totally different wheel to what he's selling!!

What a ***!!!!

Ha HA. Are they even Subaru wheels? I've not seen them before. But it does say they are "Subar" WRX/STI Alloys. You know what them Jap's are like, love to copy things. Perhaps there is a "Subar" brand of car out now. Maybe they do an "Inpreza"

Tosser, a question will be placed in the morning when I have sobered up enough to be tactful.

I hate these folk who try to take advantage of folk who know no better

I see the item description has now been changed, and the following added to the end

"These are just standard subaru alloys from an 06 plate onwards no as originally specified as the prodrive p-wrc1`s please take note. they fit onto any 06 plate subaru impreza wrx / wrx ev6 / sti or subaru legacy "
