However I don't think it's reasonable to refuse a partial refund, there's nothing to feel uncomfortable about. It would be unfortunate if anyone thought you were hoping the buyer didn't want to go to the trouble of returning it and you could then keep all his money.
The fact that you sold the wheel at less than the market value doesn't excuse you of your responsibility to be candid with potential buyers. Even a buyer familiar with the market value could reasonably infer it was being sold below that, as your thread is titled "FIRE SALE..." and begins "Something has come up that I really want so I'm selling some items to raise funds, selling at good prices as I want them gone...".
As for your statement that the photographs disclosed the damage, may I draw your attention to this post by Velocio, in particular #2.
