MF8's for HMT kit?
 

Alright I found this guy on turbod16 in the FS section about he wants to trade his set real 16" Moooogen MF8's for a turbo kit. Homemade or aftermarket. Has like new Dunlop tires and the rims are in mint condition. Now that was the 2nd time I've ever posted on that site and just found out I posted one thing like a year ago and this guy has like a couple of post. Now I've been talking with him through emails and he like's my $350 hmt kit I've been piecing together over the past 3 months. The dude is like hellyeah I really like your kit and want to trade. So I'm thinking hmmm.... does this guy really know how much it takes to make one of these HMT kits or not? I mean real MF8 are a pretty big chunk of cash to drop on wheels. Now the deal was for us to ship our stuff out thurs(8-26) but you guys think I should wait cause it goes as if "if something is too good to be true then it probably is." You think this comes into affect here? I think so and how many of you would wait until the rims came or if they actually did. He said he shipped them out UPS today and that they'd email him the tracking number. Now I don't deal with UPS so I've never heard of them emailing you the tracking number. I've believe he had them come to his house to pick them up instead of dropping them off. Help. Sorry for the novel.

make him provide a legit tracking number with insurance? This sounds kinda shady. have someone from here go meet the kid and look at the wheels? ask a HMT'r to go with him to ship the wheels? this is purely a matter of trust here I guess....

have you talked to him on the phone?

I'm gonna play it safe and see it if ever shows up. I'm in WI and the Moogen guy is from ME. He gave me his address and ----. Hell I didn't know they had cars in Maine, just fishing boats and ----.

oohh hand you do get a email from ups now. i just found out when I shipped my wheels and my ITB set-up. its a very detailed email showing where your shipment is exactly, and what time it got there, and what the package is (assumuing the shipper put the right contents on the form) i can show proof of this email...

I think I'll still wait cause for all I know I could get a box full good knows what. Hell I could some 13" steelies with mugen spray painted on them!

Re:MF8's for HMT kit?
 

yeah, i think i would wait to, unless you could meet him and trade face to face. this sounds a little fishy...

Re:MF8's for HMT kit?
 

These are the pics he sent me of them. He even gave me a shot of the tread of the new Dunlop's he just had put on. You get the feeling your in a girl's locker room? Well have to wait and see. Cross my fingers.

That looks like the same pic. Look at the crack on the pavement on the left and the shadowing on the right
