G00dt1me Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone had any experiences buying chrome wheels on ebay? Cost of wheels at the dealership is prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSpin Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I bought a set of OEM wheels for my wife's Jag S-Type (to mount a set of snow tires). I bought from a seller with excellent feedback. I sent him a question first just to see how it was answered. The response was timely and professional. The wheels arrived in mint condition (exactly as described). I paid $199 for all 4 wheels, which was less than the cost of 1 wheel from the dealer! As long as you select an experienced seller with excellent feedback (at least 99.5% positive), I wouldnt hesitate to buy anything on eBay.

Didn't ebay disable any NEGATIVE feedback options a year or so ago? If all they allow a buyer to say is positive, the percentages would be pretty high alright.

rwallican Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just make sure they are oem chromes. There are a lot of knock-offs floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whit Whit, eBay prevents a Seller from leaving a negative for a Buyer, however, a Buyer can still leave a negative for a Seller. The reason they did this is some Buyers didn't leave deserved negatives for Sellers because they were afraid of a retaliation negative from the Seller. So now the feedback system for Buyers is better. The problem is worse for Sellers because deadbeat or fraudulent Buyers can't get a negative comment from the Seller.
