    I bought some R34 GTR rims and tires from them before Christmas. They were listed as "Used but in excellent condition" and you could see some minor curbing in the pictures. So I called to find out more about them, the guy said they were very clean and in great shape. Then I made the big mistake of trusting these people and I bought the wheels. First they said they could not ship them directly to me and the nearest place they could be picked up was 3 hours away. When I picked them up at the depot the guys working there said that was a lie and they could have been dropped off in Fredericton which is 15min away. Secondly and more importantly the rims were crap, they had major curbing and heavy pitting on the face of every spoke, these were clearly not the rims I looked at in the pictures. They were also extremely dirty. I called them up right away and told them the rims were damaged and unaccpetable, they had outright lied about their condition. The phone call ended with the guy saying "send pictures" and hanging up on me. I sent pictures as soon as I got home but it was two days before Christmas so they were gone early for the holidays. I never heard anything back so I sent them two more times in January, still no reply. I eventually said screw it and took the rims to get repaired and repainted myself.

    I made a huge mistake trusting this sketchy dealer but that is the first and last time it will happen. I warn anyone who thinks about buying from these crooks to steer clear. If you buy anything from them go there and take a real good look at it first, do not buy something without seeing it first they are not to be trusted.

                      After what R33-East said, if I were you I would definitely not buy from this guy or your gonna get ripped off. If you wait around on here a bit im sure something will pop up with someone parting out a car that you can get what you need from.
