Second hand repaired cracked alloy wheels...??

Wanting a set of 19" 269 style alloy wheels for my E90 and came across THESE

I am new to modifying and want to find out people's experiences with cracked repaired wheels, should I avoid them or will they be fine after it's been repaired?

Avoid.Wheels structure has been compromised.over £1000 for a set of crack repaired alloys is way too much.

Agree.

Thanks for your replies, I'm glad I've asked.

Are there major design flaws in these 19" 269s? As I've seen so many cracked wheels for sale on Ebay, would I be better off with 18" Alloy wheels?

Regards,
Lee

Not so much a design flaw,more a combo of 30 profile tyre and runflat sidewall puts a lot of load on these rear wheels.Mv4,313,269, 230 twists,they're all the same.
