If it's a different picture, and a different price are they the same wheels?

Has the guy made a lot of posts on there, is he an active member? If not I wouldn't part with cash without more assurance.

ideally pay through paypal as you have the reassurance that if things do go pete tong you get your money back just say to the geeza you'd rather pay that way and cover the charges

are they new or second hand??

if they are new, then i would go through a legitimate BBS dealer to save any what if's

if they are second hand then if you paypal you have assurnace but he may raise the price, you are taking a real risk transferring via bank to an unknown person, i would only do this if he was known on the board and he has a good rep.
