One of mine has an inside crack. Common fault then?
Had the crack for at least 2 years though, and still no air escaping etc. Will grab a spare when i see one for the right price though.

Get a new wheel
I could be biased but: you could fill the tyre with a good tyre sealant.
If the air leaks it will seal the leak and (here it comes) put in a good product like Ultraseal USA (not Ultraseal UK) it will show up as a washable blue goo leaking out before it seals the leak.

£250 for a p/x refurb set
That is........£62.50 each
Have that done, then sell for £80 and you would still make £70
State they're in, £80 is to much, even with tyres
Have a look here

Vin#076 pics, Black, modified and with 234 RWHP and 276 lb/ft (275 BHP and 440 Nm @ flywheel)
FJ1200, DynoJet Stage 1, K&N filter
Alfa MiTo 1.4 Cloverleaf, 170 BHP, Alfa Rosso.
50 quid each (plus P+P) would seem reasonable for Apexes, considering the state they are in. I don't think second hand tyres are worth anything, personally.
There were two sets on the 75 club not that long ago, which needed a refurb, for £200.
It appears to be cheaper at some places to get a set of four refurbed than one at a time, but £220 - 250 seems to be average for four round here.
