mate why dont you show pics of the front of the rims??? it will clearly show that they are brand new!!! or 1 wk old like you were told, in stead of focusing on the 1 rim???

because brand new rims dont have chunks missing out of any of the 4 rims included in the set of 'new' rims.

i bought my rims second hand, god knows how long they were on the other guys car....and they still have stickers on them.

stickers dont make rims new.

I've had wheels on my car for a year and they are no where as scratched as these koyas! Stop defending ur mate. If he's even ever allowed to sell stuff on here next time...detailed descriptions of damages no matter how small and pics would help and not misleading ppl with the word NEW when they are in fact NOT.

I'd like to see you go to a wheel shop and pay big $$ for brand new wheels and get wheels that have been on someone elses car for a week with scratches and chunks taken off. :mellow:

yeah whatever mate!

He has just offered to refund me 100$ to fix damage to wheels.

did you mention that you have that money now??

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money

you have the money so why are you saying that for????

I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged

there are more photo's - but that web hositing service just told me my account was full. So i can't post any more

what a crock! more like "i dont wanna show the new rims to everyone, just the imperfection from week old rims"!!!

don't forget most minor imperfections are easily fixed by machining, but I definately wouldn't be paying for it out of my pocket!

you have already been compensated for it ffs!!!

However, the point is made that it's CLEARLY not on just one wheel. :mellow:

Probably shoulda taken all the photo's without the flas (like the one below) though, this was the last one - which i went back to get as i figured someone might think, the bad damage to the front and back is only on 1 wheel (Which is still NOT acceptable anyway)

Damage on inside of wheels is on outer sides of rim. Looks like they have all been rubbing on coilovers or something.

How the hell it has been damaged halfway into the wheel i have *NO* idea

White marks on tires is from the tape that he used to package. Not damage to tires.

Pics are in no specific order. Just took random photo's. I don't see why i should need to prove that they are all damamged - the fact is, there is damage. Which is NOT what was said/advertised :mad:

I'll have to see what happens with this claim he is going to give me back some money - but by the previous post - maybe i should be asking for more money back on this dud sale? (if i get any of it back at all ? )

(1)(the first link in the pics posted) ,hes not gonna show everyone the rims as a set or any of the fronts so anyone who has put there 5c worth in:

have a look at the first pic (1)in the linked pictures and all the rims look like that.....new! apart from the insides which look like they are a week old! and the tyres are brand spanking new with a week wear....and for aruments sake "AS NEW" would have been a better choice of words when selling these rims.

and for petes sake... that camera phone would make any rims look shit!!!

mate seriously who gives a f*ck. new is new & damage is damage. silbeer sold them as per title "Set Of New Gold Koya Drift Tek Rims 17x9 +30 (5 Stud) With New Rubber"

youd expect not a mark for brand new. im sure if you went to buy any other part that was brand new and when it was sent to you was 100% not. you'd pissed too so sit the f*k down and let silbeer explain. he may even have a reason.

i aint taking sides with whos right and wrong with the buyer and seller im telling you to shut up because your "perception" of brand new will start to make other people on the forum stupid

it says new......not brand new! it should read as "AS NEW" NOT EVERYONES PERCEPTION OF NEW IS THE SAME!!! look at the linked pic! (1)

Stay out of it and tell your buddy Silbeer to respond.

The chat stops here, if people continue to stick their noses in, warnings will result

I said ONE was damaged on the front, the others are ALL damaged on the backs.

I was told they where on the car - not that they where DAMAGED on the car (Big difference)

I dont know about YOUR place off residence - but occasionally we do get overcast days. And overcast days do make it sh*t for photo's.

Why did i accept the $100 money offered for compensation? Well - if i'd said - no i'm not happy with that, i want more/all of it back, i probably would have gotten nothing initially.

The ONLY thing that that $100 has paid for is the plane ticket to W.A so this guy can get a better understanding of a new and damaged.

I'm sure that 'silbeer' will read this thread. So, i'll let him know here (Ain't gonna waste more money on a phone call/message)

I want at least 35% of my money back. Which is $420(minus 100$ already given). Alternativly - he can refund my FULL $1320 + return postage (120) (Again, minus the 100$ already given) and i will return the wheels.

Other wise, this matter is not resolved.

I would also like to mention, that some more "reasoning" to him selling me f*Cked wheels, that is 'how do i know i'm not going to drive on them for a week and damage them, so whats the big deal with them being like that now'

LoL. I SERIOUSLY hope noone buys off this chump ever again. As he did happen to send me a photo of 1 or 2 of the wheels b4 i bought them, funnily enough, it's one of the ones you can't see any damage :O

mate do your self a favor and post pics up of the front of the rims!...gutless, but ill tell you what ill do,ill buy the rims of you for what you paid! you can keep the new tyres as you dont have a problem with them because they are new!

these rims were bought for(originally) =$300 dollars each...total $1200

the tyres were bought separatly for =$135 each...............total $540

you paid $1200 for rims and tyres not $1200 for rims lets get that straight so $1200 less- tyres $540 =$660 that is all you paid for the rims! so ill gladly buy them of you for what you paid for the rims $660 ,so sell them to me for what you paid for them $660 fkn bargain! and you have lost nothing

think about it..........post-7327-1161331646.jpg

oh and why havent you asked the freight company about the damage on the out side of the rim????

No, see your missing the point - If this arguing continues the thread will be locked.

The rims were advertised as new.

The buyer agreed to purchase them based on this fact.

The buyer received the rims and they were clearly not new, and had sustained some damage.

How much or how little damage each rim has is completely irrelevant, the wheels arent new.

End of story, now for the last time, keep your nose of this and get your buddy who actually advertised the wheels to come in here and answer for whats happened.

Alternativly - he can refund my FULL $1320 + return postage (120) (Again, minus the 100$ already given) and i will return the wheels.

I will gladly buy the rims and tyres off you - assuming they are still in the same condition as you posted up the pics?

please let me know asap, as I need them pretty soon :)

  • 2 weeks later...

you can buy these rims brand new with brand new tyres $1450 from jax quickfit (i have them on my 33). why bother buying them off some trader on the net, when also when you buy them off a dealer you get a warranty on the rims too?

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
