Question Advice on buying used wheels for my SC400.

Hi,
I am going to buy used wheels for my SC400 as new ones are pointless in NYC. I know sometimes they are cracked, leak air or are bent. Is there anything else should I look for?
Looks like nicer used wheels (some with tires) go for 500$ to 1200$. Is that what a budget conscious choice should run?
I'm looking at G35 forged rays as a used wheel. What should i pay for those?

Thanks,
SG

I have many questions. Is that not what a forum is for? I will answer plenty when I know enough to contribute. ;-)

But they are all wheel related. That can be summed up in one thread...

5 Threads on the front page about the same thing. Just keep posting in the same thread asking questions it'll be bumped to the top and we'll all see it anyway. Makes everyone's life easier.

I thought of that. I felt the posts with too many questions would be MORE annoying and harder to quickly participate in. I also felt that some questions would be helpful to others later on.
Sorry if the inquiries annoy you.
I am excited and obsessed. I'm sure many of you started this way!

3 are about wheels directly.
I've got you fellas..... More combined inquiries in the future.
Behavior mods intact! Now how about some answers.

Just trying to help. There's a thread that I believe was just on the front page about stock wheels from other cars on the SC. Check that thread out you'll see just about everything and maybe get an idea of what you may want to look for. The forged g35s are somewhat popular, not my cup of tea, but a nice wheel nonetheless.
