| The price you pay for cheap ebay wheels |
|
Ive just spent tonight cleaning up the alloys I collected from Leeds yesterday. £250 for 4 x 20" split 5 spoke stormer RRS wheels generally they are fine polished up a treat a couple of kerb marks nothing major. BUT and heres the But one wheel has a crack in it on the inside and a medium dent. No hardship to repair but sadly thats the reality of buying of ebay you dont always spot everything.
Going on holiday sunday so bloody rushing to sort everything out.

You are a braver man than me buying wheels from eBay
Unfortunately it is a sellers Market, or should I say it appears that way to me !
I've not bought anything from there for a long time.
Good luck sorting out the crack. Only dead fish go with the Flow !

So, OK 250quid for 4 20's is cheap, but if the seller didnt declare the crack/damage, you could say they are not as described and ask for your money back.

If one wheel is cracked, I'd be concerned about the other 3.
Especially when hurtling down a motorway in a 2 and a half ton machine with kids & swmbo on board.
Personally I'd do as Al says and ask for your money back. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
