Genuine GP wheels

I have been offered a set of genuine GP wheels and tyres for around £400


Do people think this is a good deal?

Or could it be too good to be true?

Need a bit more information about where from, by who etc to be sure, but it sounds like they are either:

a) Not genuine
b) Stolen
c) Not in the best of condition

Too cheap to be true.

Genuine GP wheels are circa £200 each plus tyres.

The scrap GP on eBay has the wheels going £400 - it is a scam the guy is not genuine.

Stay away.
