i'll keep trying if you don't get an answer from the seller.

Prob made in the same factory that makes Louis Vuitton luggage.

Glad everything is worked out. In the past we've fielded a few calls and even received a few sets of warranty claims for wheels not made by us. Any questions we are here to help!

LOL this thread is too funny. HRE P40 > v710 > Knock off v710's

Just as an update, I will say that the seller and I worked the issue out. He says that he bought the wheels from a friend that works at a wheel shop, and his friend told him that these were V710s as well. I know that sounds kind of suspect, but I believe him. Seems that he was duped as well. Either way, we still don't know exactly who makes this wheel, which is unfortunate. It may be the Avant Garde people that are posted above, as the wheel certainly looks a lot like that, but I just don't know. The seller gave me a partial refund for the mixup and trouble, and will be sending me centercaps that fit the car. I've already ordered a couple of different sets of caps as well (I think a 65mm cap will fit) so as it turns out I may end up with 3 different sets.

So, in the end, I can say that although the seller sold me something that ended up not as advertised, he did go the extra length to try and make it up to me, and I appreciate that. I guess this is a lesson learned for everyone.

well, if it is the Avant Garde wheels then you might actually have gotten a better deal as those retail 1264 vs 999 for the v710. Any case, they do look pretty good.

post up some more shots

Im glad you guys resolved the issue. Iv seen many sellers that would not go that extra length after the item has left their possession.

I've got nothing but respect and high marks for the seller. He totally took responsibility and went that extra step to make things right. I would definitely buy from him again, despite this mix up. I just wish it didn't have to happen.

So in the end you are going to keep them?

Yep. I've already bought and mounted tires for them. It's too much trouble to send them back. Plus, the seller and I worked it out so it's all good.

I have to cross my fingers that one of them doesn't crack on me or something... but I think I'll be fine (knocks on wood).
