How do you guys feel about buying used wheels? Saw a post near my area on Craigslist for a set of used wheels and tires which could potentially save me 600-800 dollars versus a set of new ones. Has anyone experienced buying used?

used is fine as long as you thoroughly inspect them. Meet the seller at a discount tire or something and have it inspected for leaks and make sure its road force balanced on a hunter machine. This way you can make sure the rims are true, the tire is not out of round, and not leaking air.

like having a 'holmes inspection' before you buy a house
