Unlucky Dom. Have you contacted the seller about it? What does he say about it? Nice rims though, but will probs cost what you paid for the set for a new single one as I doubt there are any used singles about.  :sad:

18" 8j, et35 but they're 5x120 so I was going to get Benvictors to make me some adaptors up. If you could try & get a price it'd be great :afro:

With all due respect Dom, you can't not notice a crack like that.  It's really obvious. I'm sensing it's the reason they were such a "bargain".

He should really pay the return courier charges and give you a full refund.

He is still claiming that he had no idea :rolleyes:

He said I can return them for a refund be he won't cover any postage, so if I send them back I'll be £55 out of pocket.

I'm thinking about just sticking them on eBay as they are and seeing if I can get my money back on them.

You can send a set of wheels for £27 with Paisley Freight.

It all depends on how much you paid for them.

Well id look at this way, you either soak up the loss of the return courier costs or fork out hundreds for a replacement....no brainer imo.

Yeah it's £27.50 but I've already paid that once to get them delivered to me, so it'll be £55 in total.

The other option is to sell them as they are detailing the damage and try to recoup my money. Someone on another forum has already shown some interest in them....

As you say not many people sell them on their own. Why don't you try that approach, seeing as what you paid for them i think you could easily make double  :wink:
