Whilst having a quick snoop on the market place this caught my eye, I had to have a read and the mind boggles ...
Some people will try and sell anything and their item description just beggar's belief, how could you possibly even consider repairing these, and tyres well same applies.
The guy needs having a word with.

Tbh they could be repaired, just not cheaply.
 
Seriously, why repair them in that state, I doubt you'd find any wheel specialist willing to fix them let alone guarantee the repair.
even one of the spokes is bent out of shape lower down
There are dents and cracks that can, but those..
And tyres are not even legal with that sidewall damage on two tyres.
 
Putting those rims to one side, those tyres are unfit for any use other than melting down with that sidewall damage, even the beading is split on one.

Personally I wouldn't buy them, but somebody else will, wheel refurbers buy them to repair & resell or just to test the repairs that are feasible.

The amount of pure rubbish on eBay from breakers yards is just silly. If they actually invested some time into cleaningcthe parts up and binning the junk they’d probably find it more profitable over time.
