lol...no, not unless you want to get done for fraud or something, with all the anti terrorist laws that came in a few years ago im pretty sure this sort of fraud has a harsh penalty..
like everyone has said the plates are just tin and are the property of the RTA/vic roads etc that's why you are suppose to hand them back if your car becomes unregistered, there is actually a fine for having plates in your possession if the cars registration has lapsed for more than 3 months.
The thing that you should have brought is the combination.
There is one other possibility perhaps that combo has lapsed as the plates were from a wrecked car so maybe check the roads website to see if that combo is available (RTA have that im not sure about other states).
If thats a no go and you did not pay much, i would just write this off to experience and a lesson learnt mate but if you did pay a good sum perhaps you could go to the police saying they sold it to you under false pretences or in the wrong manner so you wanted to contact them as its illegal to sell actual plates, you can only ever sell the right to the combination.
2 things could happen by doing this 1 you may find the guy who sold you the plates is the owner and is willing to sign the combo over properly.
Or you will find you have purchased some stolen plates.
Good luck buddy.
