Buying and selling wheels
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 8:01 am
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.
