Just come across this on ebay;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-TRANSIT-SPORT-ST-AL...

Now within 10 seconds of looking at the pictures I can see that is a piece of scrap, it has two severe buckles on the inner rim, and yet 6 people have bid on it, WTF?

Do people actually just bid without looking, or are there some people out there who would actually fit a tyre to this (if it's possible to get it to seal) and drive on it???

Seen better days for sure but compared to the price of new, getting it refurbed makes a cheaper option even if its to be a full sized spare.
Buyer is being straight and honest enough. Up to the buyer!

Rare wheel design. I've sold something similar - a Rage 19" alloy which was buckled and part repaired. Sold for £50 for a spare.
