Fake Blox Wheel Nut, Skunk 2, Benen, OMP, Forge Ebay seller - Kylin_performanceUK
Just a heads up..
Most on here aren't stupid (although I do wonder about certain individuals ) but there is a seller on eBay trading quite openly in counterfeit goods.
This isn't unusual with eBay, but this 'seller' has a 'retail' outlet in Staffordshire where is quite openly selling the fakes, which makes him more of a risk.
The story I've just been told - My brothers friends parents bought a set of wheel nuts from him for said friends birthday present and he ended up losing a wheel on his Civic on his way home from work one night..the nuts literally sheered apart apparently. It wasn't pretty, he is ok, but the car wasn't quite as lucky and he had a bit of a fright to say the least. He reported it to plod and trading standards, so hopefully they will take action. They had the remaining nuts sent to BLOX in the US, and it was confirmed they where fake.
Looking into this guy his listings are very poor quality, but he has got lots of feedback, and the majority of what he is selling are counterfeit goods, Skunk2 , OMP, Momo, Aerocatches etc
So watch out for him

Another interesting thing is all the Halfords tools he is selling... I am sure you cant buy Halfords tools from a wholesale outlet, so where do they all come from?

it amazes me when people buy this **** from ebay and then complain its ****
if i offered you anything car related at 30% 50% whatever it is cheaper than anywhere else would you assume its genuine??
seller should be shut down though tbf

We have to remember, sometimes its just mums and dads buying parts for presents..or some people just dont know any better, like in this case..they see all the branded boxes, and a 'retail outlet' and think it is fine. Hells Ive been caught out before on Amazon for Aerocatches..speaking of which..
My pal told me Graham at Aerocatches has reported the fakes of those, but the seller seems to be able to keep re-listing them...he has some form of immunity, i guess ebay dont mind when they are selling so much as it keeps them in business.
Id say the Halfords tools are probably stolen to be honest...

I also see the seller is selling fake Benen tow eyes as well, particularly noticeable because all the fakes feature the 0185 serial number on all fake tow eyes.
There was someone on here (do a search) who was selling fake Blox wheel nuts, Benen Tow Eyes and famously HKS chav cannons, at first he he denied they were copies and was passing them off as genuine, later that was changed to say he was unsure of their authenticity. As he was selling them in quantity he must have been well aware of their origins, there's a Chinese website openly selling all these counterfeit parts openly all over the world plus they offer a discount for bulk purchases as well.
These sellers need to be stopped before someone gets injured or worse, they are parasites preying upon people's desire for a bargain / naivety / gullibility and lack of knowledge, it's also worth nothing that the seller I'm referring to on here has recently resurfaced after disappearing for a while. Personally I think a lifetime ban should have been placed upon him.

I have to admit, I got caught out on those tow hooks before from an ebay seller *gullible*
You can report the seller on the fake items to ebay by going through the
help-contact ebay-report item function.
I am told that eBay will only 'wake up' when there are enough alerts, so the more varying reports, the more his account is investigated. He has had so many VERO takedowns on the aerocatches, as soon as more reports float in it should stop him.
Wheel nuts are some serious danger issues, how someone can morally sell them in bulk is beyond me. He has his address clear as day on his account and offers a 'retail' location in his eBay shop...Anyone in Stoke On Trent?
I see the fake aerocatches have been taken down now, so at least thats something. He has since opened a 'second' account so watch out for this one too, I magine all the aerocatche items will appear on this account shortly..

I bought a set of the evo blox wheel nuts off a seller on here, im not sure of them as each nut weighs nothing and it seems they wont be strong enough to hold a wheel on which is why i havent fitted them. How do i tell if theyre genuine?

Anyone who buys wheel nuts off a seller on Ebay without any genuine verification they are up to the job deserves to crash to be honest!
I just bought some black wheel bolts for my car. £4 each from the main BBS agent in the UK, £1.50 each on Ebay.... I must be an idiot for paying so much more for them.

I agree with you completely, but we are car buffs remember

Well it looks like Kylin Performance is either a member on here, or has a friend on here...suddenly, all his counterfeit items have mysteriously vanished! (user removed not ebay removed)...
it wont be long till we see them appearing on his other account I imagine...but its a good start.
