+1 Jeff!

That's the frightening truth when buying a "used" wheel... One really has NO idea
how old, or how many miles, heat cycles, DE's, Races, miles, summer's, winter's, etc. a wheel has lived through.

I bought my 9's brand new, but my front 8's (951) were a roll of the dice. I found them on Ebay from a Rennlister. One of the wheels was slightly bent, but was easily repaired, then refinished by Al. No visible stress cracks, but I check them out CLOSELY every time I wash the car!
