You should probably state how much you are paying. Looks like the black stuff is brake dust. Why not ask the seller to give it a quick wash. There appears also to be a few curbs.

I would have them shipped without tires (negotiate a lower price)... Powdercoat them white, slap on some nice tires on them and be very happy with my NEW set of Mugen wheels.

For starters I see 3 lip scuffs wheres the anodized is scratched off and the aluminum valve cap is missing.
Are you buying 1 rim or a set of 4? What about the condition of the other 3 rims?
Also, what car are these going on?

If he isn't willing to clean it and take detailed pics, simply walk away.

Looks like that rim has a slight bend in it towards the bottom middle
