First Time Buying Used Car Wheels

Hi Guys,

I'm looking at buy the work wheels from a fellow forum member and I was looking to see if there is anything I should know about buying used wheels.

I know I should inspect for bends or cracks, but should I do anything else, like jump on them or would that just insult the guy selling them?


Thanks in advance

That was a joke, though good wheels are all drop tested so it's sort not a joke too, lol.

Thanks, I didn't realism you could just take them to a wheel shop.

I would die laughing if a customer starts jumping on the wheels
Check for cracks and the finish condition on the wheels
