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...

It was a chemical strip, could have been the refurb, more likely the problem was there before.

Either way, I have no way of proving how and when the hole developed.

Now it's my problem !
