Default Cracked H&R spacer safe to use ???

Sup guys, trying to get opinions on whether Its safe or not to use a 20mm H&R spacer with a slight crack on the "hub centering" part. Attached are a few pics. I bought them used from a member on here and although he is willing to work with me trying to find another used set or loose 20mm h&r spacer (s) might take forever. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. I won't be tracking the car and Im probably only keeping them on for a few thousand miles.

Edit: I didn't buy them knowing one was damaged, he blamed it on shipping ect...either way it has been resolved he has refunded full amount and maintained good communication throughout the whole process.

I wouldn't install it on my car and that sure as hell doesn't look like it was damage while in transit.

Why would you buy something like that? I wouldn't put that on the Z. Did you purchased it like that or what happened ?

He agreed to refund me half so I guess I'll either order new ones or may go with z1 20mm and keep the other 2 h&r for the rear

I hope you took a REALLY good look at the rest because like everyone else has said that looks like it was done prior to shipping. Was the container damaged as well?

I gave seller benefit of the doubt since he has been communicating back and forth since I received the package and he claims they left his possession 100% fine but the box they came in isn't damaged at all
