Is this bad form or not?

In my opinion I’d say it’s your own fault for not questioning wether it’s original or not and for not checking.

From the sellers point of view, you came looking for a wheel, they sold you a wheel. Original wheels and replica wheels mean nothing to 99% of punters so why would he get into that conversation with everyone that gets in touch looking for some.

I totally get that argument. But the flip side of it is, I came looking for a specific wheel and didn’t say anything to suggest a replica of that wheel would suffice! I believe it’s not black and white and arguable either way, which is the reason for asking the question in the thread...

But you know replica wheels are out there on the used market, you could have had your eyes open but you didn’t. It’s a little 50/50 here, answering your question from the title of the thread: no I don’t think it’s necessarily bad form on the sellers part.

It's probably hard to say. Not sure a breakers would differentiate between them.

Yeah as above it's hard to say, particularly because people don't seem to sell individual wheels very often, but I would say based on what people seem to be asking for a full set of genuine MV2s on DoneDeal and Adverts and considering the condition of the wheel, I definitely paid genuine money.
