I recently bought these: Description: BBS RC041/042 Staggerred split rims 5x120 bmw and vw T5 fitment and various others using adapters.In need of refurb,some slight kurbing.One has been sprayed and the others have laquer peel.Once refurbed look great.Centre caps and tyres included and postage via courier £26 uk mainland only.Check out my other items this was accompanied by 3 pics, all blurry of the front of the wheels. OH curse word! Where do I stand as per eBay rules? No crack mentioned? No detailed photos of the rear of the rims? Him at fault?

Are they any good to you? do you still want them? If not ask for a complete refund from the seller and insist he collects them.
If you still want them ask for some money back. If he doesn't offer enough open a case with ebay
Speak to the seller first. He likely didn't know the crack was there and wouldn't have sold them if he did. He knows (or should) ebay will choose in your favour, so to keep good feedback he may offer you a good deal.
Good luck

So one is cracked, but you can't see it until you strip them down? How exactly would he be expected to know? And they're second hand. Buyer beware. Pursuing him for a refund is just nasty unless you suspect he knew beforehand.

PS I hope you didn't buy them for your E34!

Yes for the E34, yes I know about offset issues, style 5's are stupidly expensive. No I spotted the crack before I removed the paint, I took the paint off to make certain I was praying it was just the paint flaking in an odd way.

I'm just uploading to photobucket now, the Facebook album transfer didn't work. I'm sure the crack can be welded but the fact remains that I would not have paid £150 quid plus shipping for a set of wheels one of which was broken. It was visible without removing of paint, and should have been checked before shipping. I do so with all the things I sell on the bay, lifes easier that way.

you can get that sorted to an invisible standard for about £20.
its a very, very common problem on BMW rims. the guy who does my ally welding and wheel repairs always has a stack of half a dozen bimmer rims from the local independent specialist waiting to be welded, cos they always crack on the inner lips, usually pothole or kerb damage.

I've repaired more BMW wheels with a crack exactly the same a that than I can count. Run flat tyres and their rock hard sidewalls account for most of the cracks

There from a 328i Sport.... Personally if you got them for good money, I'd get it welded professionally. If you paid a bit over the odds for good none buckled/cracked wheels I'd be opening an eBay dispute.
Anyway, Is it okay to split them with a tyre still on the rim? I'v a set that were fully refurbed but want to change the colour of the centre.

Pursuing him for a refund is just nasty unless you suspect he knew beforehand. This ! How was he supposed to know until they were stripped down ? Go and pay £20 to have it welded and take it on the chin
