Buying and selling wheels

Is it just me or is everyone else who buys and sells wheels an idiot. Bare with me here, I mean recently I've bought a fair few sets of wheels and there's nothing more irritating that a badly described set of alloys. There are certain pieces of information that you just can't sell them without. Things like, diameter, width, stud pattern, offset and centre bore. If any of these are wrong or missing it's the difference between the wheels fitting or not.

Offset and centre bore can be forgiven for someone who doesn't know much about wheels but surely the others are obvious.

Anyway I've now come to sell a lot of the sets of wheels that I've bought and after being so irritated by the lack of this required information I have included all of it in my listings. Yet I'm still inundated with stupid questions about whether or not the wheels will fit various cars.

I got one question "will these fit my insignia" it was so hard not to just write "how the f@@k should I know" I mean use your brain and if that's not enough Google it for gods sake.

Anyway rant over, just had to share my feelings with someone who will hopefully understand.

Totally agree with you mate.
Buying wheels from Japan is easy as body lemonade. They're all advertised with all the specs

I tried selling a few sets over here. Put all the specs up and still get stupid questions. 'will they fit my civic, corsa bla bla'
RESEARCH FOR YOUR drokking SELF! They're going on YOUR car.
Trying to sell on facebook seems to be the worst.

Not tried on Facebook but if it's worse than ebay I don't think I'll bother.
