Don't buy anything from alpinestars96 (Joshua Schaefer). I sent him $345 for 4 SE wheels and shipping, he received the money 2 months ago and since that time he never replied to my PM and email. I know now that he is dishonest and that I have lost my money and the reason I post that thread is to warn everybody so he won't steal money from other forum member.

Sorry to hear that man.

Did you use Paypal or another mediator?
If so, hound them to solve this for you and hopefully you can get your money back. *fingers crossed*

I sent a money order. I bought a lot of parts on other forums in the past and always paid with money order and never had any problems. Most peoples are honest and Alpinestars96 looked like he was honest but obviously he is not. I am from Canada and he is from USA, he knows I won't travel 2,000 miles to meet him, this is why I consider that I have lost my money now.

That BLOWS dude, I'm sorry to hear about that. I know times are hard for a lot of people right now, but that is NO excuse to rip anybody off for anything. Makes me worried about buying stuff on here now...
