Default Small cracks in rim?

I bought some rims from someone from here...


I got the rims...the front two were fine, but the when I went to change the tires for the rear the technician showed me 3-4 cracks in the inner side of both rims...they are at the most an inch in length and are on the outer edge of the two rims?


Any repair options...i highly doubt it....but what the hell.

I shoudl have asked for more pics of the inside of the rims, but as this is my first time "upgrading" rims ona acr I forgot.


What are my options? Are such cracks repairable or ok?

BTW the rears are 18x9.5 SSR GT3s

The front two are fine.

I would have a very serious discussion with the individual who sold you those rims. Normal wear in tear is understood.......cracks in the rear two rims is total BS....

I has 17" SSR GT1's on MY00 Autocrossed and tracked the car extensively and never had a single problem with the rims, I have no idea how the guy could have cracked them, maybe overtorqing with the wrong kind of lug nuts. I seriously doubt they are repairable, and even if someone tells you they are would you ever trust your life to them at 80+mph? I know I wouldn't. I would definitely try to get my money back, If he's not willing to do anything for you post about it so nobody else buys anything from him.
