those guys are down the street from me and i checked out a integra type r there. the place is crazy they have a wharehouse full of exotic cars. anything from supra's, rx7,nsx,benz,etc. they had a wrecked blue evo ix there when i went that looked like it was being repaired for resale. i talked to a few people in the area and was told not to buy anything from them. something about fraudulent titles. i have no proof at all and i am not saying that is the truth but the people who told me are good friends in the industry that would not steer me wrong. i did not buy the type r.

I actually had a good friend of mine buy an evo from there and the two front rims were bent bad enough to make the steering wheel shake and the speed sensor was taken out.
However he did get a good deal on it.

^^ now someone, please tell me a huge blemish you see on this MR. I e-mailed the guy asking why its not in the description and he wrote back ...



You, good sir, earn a gold star

Nice catch...there's no way I would have noticed that looking at the pictures. Would have seen it in-person, but damn you're good for seeing that in the pics

I don't want to speak for most, but I'm guessing that like I, most of us were concentrating on the body or the interior and not the wheels. I've never seen one of these BBS bent and its not like its an easy thing to do to a forged wheel. But good eye on the original poster.

it is the wheel...... think of how hard he had to hit something to do damage a forged wheel that badly..... im sorry, but i would not buy that car.

BUT thats besides the point. I e-mailed them asking why there is nothing in the description about the wheel, and he wrote back a smart *** e-mail asking me "what are you trying to prove?"

bottom line its unethical business practice

I specifically stopped reading this thread so I could play "wheres waldo" with the pictures, and I looked for 20 minutes, and did not see anything wrong. Then read the thread and BAAAM, wheel damage. Nice eye sir, well played!

Holy crap on a stick, I just checked back in and saw the wheel. WTF?

Indeed, good catch, sir.
