have a look at this post please Mach 5 wheels
& TBH after reading ML reply i think thats good going considering the wheels were bought 2nd hand & are approx 4 years old

4 years old?? i would expect a set of rims to last the life of the car, possibly a little less if they had a hard life, but iam still talking 10-15 years of offroading. the old wheels off my series are more then 32 years old and are still completely servicable. i bet landrover spend more time developing/testing/quality controling there wheels then the makers of mach 5's.

Unfortunately you do have not contract of sale with Matt (as they are 2nd hand) therefore the Sales of Goods Act is not applicable in this case.

I gathered that.
As I had posted, I am not after a new set of wheels. I just wanted to know why they cracked and the fact that the working life is less than 4 years. If I was running tubes I would not have noticed it had cracked untill a total failure of the weld.

IN ref to them being approx 4 years old i was refering to the fact that at the time (4 years ago :roll: ) there was a problem with them cracking,since a change in manufacturing process i havent heard of a set cracking since
