Won a pair of White Mike Buff Z-Rims on ebay at the weekend and they turned up today....

Both rims have a couple of cracks around the area where the spoke holes are....

Nothing major, but I'm wondering whether I should ask for a refund or not?

They were described as 'Survivor condition' which I guess, can cover a multitude of things, but there
wasn't any mention of cracks in the description....

What would you do?

Would I be able to find a better pair of rims?

I take it I won't be able to repair the cracks?

Cheers guys!

harris:
the holes around z rims crack /or look cracked chips and small lifted pieces
they come like this from new  are they proper cracks or more plastic splinter chips.

ThisBitterPill:
Well they don't go through to the outside of the rim....

But one of them I can get a fingernail in.....

harris:
can you get a pic up.

ThisBitterPill:
Here goes:







Seems like there is a hairline crack running around the centre of a portion of the rim.....Very faint, but it's there....
