Seller is indeed an ass with that ad, but both the buyer and seller posted evidence that the buyer understood before money changed hands that these were not the real thing. Seems more like the buyer figured out after the fact how much of a markup he paid and got pissy that he didn't do his homework before hand.

Seller is an ass for a clearly misleading ad and for such a high mark up on replicas though.
Yeah, the linking to the factory parts and price was the bit that really misled anyone looking at them, hell I looked at the ad a couple times and thought they were the real deal, having purchased stuff from him before without issue had no reason to think otherwise other than the strangeness of not actually having pictures of the wheels/part numbers.
