Bought a set of 122 rims off e-bay last November for a good price................................
Had them refurbished and stored them in the garage as my summer rims.
Last week I dusted them off, had a set of PS2's fitted, looked great.
Today got a flat tyre warning and found the left rear to be down on pressure.
When the tyre shop looked at it they found a minute pin hole in the centre of the wheel.
The mechanics in the next workshop are going to weld it tomorrow, say they have done loads like this, never had a problem.
But I feel very pissed off and am considering looking for new wheels and offloading these.
Am I being paranoid?

If you want to be, you could suspect the refurb process...

Either way, I have no way of proving how and when the hole developed.
Now it's my problem !
