He mentions one has a bad wobble and is only suitable for the back (to me that reads - "it's knackered!)

Have a good look at the bigger pictures and you can see the edges of some are chewed round the edges - worst one is fourth big picture down, you can see a small portion of the one it's standing on and it looks chewed to hell. And they are not originals, they are copies. You pays your money, you takes your chance.............

wobbly wheel to me indicates the rim may be slightly buckled...
