there were no further questions for me to ask before i bought this. He posted what seemed correct widths/offsets and he also showed pictures of it on the s2000. I searched before I bought this to make sure that this guy is for real, but didn't find the original post with 35 offset until i found out that the wheels were wrong...otherwise i would not have looked back.

my digicam came back from bestbuy (usb plug repair) few days ago and it's still not working...i took plenty of pics, but can't post! i'll get it on soon though...

aside from someone else scamming $500 from me through ebay/paypal previously, I take transactions seriously and search before i make any attemp to sell or buy. this is the first "purchase gone wrong" in my book.

btw, mike's response is posted...he said i can return it, but he won't refund. I'm going to return it though...

for the last time these are for the s2000...
i have pictures of them on my car...
i got them with no extended lug nuts or whatsoever...
the previous owner stated that oem lugnuts work just fine and thats what i did... you still got yourself a hell of a deal... the tires on them were worth 500 themselves...powdercoating cost me 250... (not sure how much they're worth now. but they have good tread) i have people that'll back me up on that the wheels i sold to you fit the s2000... they fit fine for me and airgate....no hackjob was done if a hack job was done to make it fit then i am in the same boat as he is.. i got jipped as well.... i wouldnt scam anyone.....i've dealt with Beroz and he can vouch for me... i cant believe this went this far.....
i've dealt with a lot of people if you would search the for sale post i had when i was parting out my car.... S2000_europe worked with me and also i've dealt with auss2000 before...

I have dealt with Mike before on an item twice the value of this and it all went smooth and trouble free including international shipping.

I would urge everyone to show some restraint before making judgement on this. If the wheels really are 5 x 100 then I expect Mike will come to the party. But considering very few here even know what a PCD is I won't judge until I've seen the fit myself.

Mike, why don't you post some pics of them on yours and the previous owners car.

dp, work someting out and get some pics. Everyone has a camera these days, even on their phones.

Till then, hold judgement.

As I posted in the other thread, I've had several transactions w/Mike, and they've all been flawless. He is an EXCELLENT seller.

Here's a diagram of PCD:



A wheel 100mm PCD would have studs 7mm (a bit more than 1/4") closer to the center of the wheel. There is no way in hell you will fit a 100PCD wheel on the S2000 studs. And if you modified to allow it it would be very obvious.

I have delt with Mike as well, no issues here. Show us some pictures of the rims that were sent to you.

I've also bought a Toda header from Mike with no issues. This was international shipping too. He even dug out a filler bolt to fill the secondary bung without me asking for it.

From my transaction, I doubt he would try to screw you. Especially since it would be so obvious that the wheels wouldn't fit.
