If the post is commercial, unsolicited, not as an adjunct to a previous post, it is SPAM and does not belong here. However if someone posts looking for a reputable parts supplier and I have a related experience and "plug" a supplier that I , personally have used to my benefit, I see that as good ADVICE and nothing else. Is you post your own wheels for sale, mayybe that is a bit close to the dividing line but if it is person to person, I can live with that. But if you post your own COMMERCIAL addess: an URL, A phone number or a mailing address....IT DOES NOT BELONG HERE. Malcolm Mason
