A-Specs for $449...set of 4. Scam or not.

There was another thread posted here on AZ where a number of members purchased A-Specs and were all happy with their purchases. The rims were OEM rims and genuine. You could look for that thread and verify if it's the same seller.

I don't think it's a scam at all...that seller had a whole bunch of sets for sale. But if I'm not mistaken, those aspec springs are for a RL with a 5x120 lug pattern. I could be wrong but maybe someone else can give their opinion

Those guys are legit. They sold 20 sets a few months ago. The auction later got reposted by mistake and several sets were "sold" a second time before MagAuto realized what had happened. They refunded everyone for that second mistaken auction.

P.S. The previous auction price was $400 and 20 sets, so I don't think this one is a mistake.

Grab them quick!!! As the saying goes, "Early bird gets the wheel !! "

Part number is listed as O8W18-SEP-200D which is supposed to be the Sparkle Silver finish but in the description he says a smooth chrome finish. Can anybody who bought these last time confirm which finish it is: chrome, satin, or sparkle silver?

They always get several parts of the description wrong, but great seller for sure.

Looks like they had 30 sets this time, hard to believe honestly, especially without 20+ AZ guys buying them.

Maybe the 30 sets is a running total.

Looks like 10 sets sold to 9 different buyers between May 13 and May 15. Prior to that last sale was Feb 27, so it could be a running total.

Damn, your shipping was quick. Was there an option to purchase faster shipping or something? I bought my set sunday night, and I just got an email saying they shipped this morning. Est delivery is the 25th.

Ordered my set Saturday night. I had just placed an order for another set of aspecs from a different seller, when I found the other thread with the listing from a few months ago. The listing had these in the suggested items, I couldn't believe it. Can't wait for them to come, hopefully mine doesn't come with those "orange" center caps :P

Hmm, I'm in Connecticut. Maybe they will update it tomorrow, I know when I bought them it said they would be here by Friday.
