Default Does this car look familiar???

Ok so im basically just making sure i am not about to be scammed. This guy is interested in picking up my rims and supposedly he had the same rims on his is350. i just wanted to make sure this was no ones car and he was trying to front about it. Please if you know this car or it is yours give me some info. I am suppose to be shipping a set of black w/ polished lip same style rims to him.

That's some pretty awesome camber wear he's got on those tires. Also I can tell the owner likes to take his car to a car wash that uses the tracks with rollers - they've done a nice job grinding the inside lip of those wheels...

you can run 5x112(mercedes pattern) but you will need hubcentric rings. The holes also have to be slightly modified.

I'm so confused. So the guy is picking up wheels, or you're shipping them? Also, the ad is for some wheels for sale, what does that have to do with some guy buying yours? Sorry, maybe I'm tired but I'm totally confused by your post.

Im a little confused too, if he's buying them from you why does it matter? make sure you receive the secured payment and ship him the item. maybe i misunderstood, btw those rims are in HORRIBLE shape.

Just make sure you get the payment first... I'm not sure where the craigslist page is coming from.. who cares if he shows someone else's car if you're not buying from him.
