Just wondering, since often you can find used rims in good condition for a lot cheaper than new rims, is there any way to make sure there is nothing wrong with them? Is a visual inspection good enough?

not really much to check for other than curb rash and bends or cracks.
if they have tires on them do they keep air? other than that happy shopping smile.gif
i got my rims used and i love them. saved a boat load of money on them that way.
edit: typo. sometimes i'm a perfectionist LOL

So if tires are already installed is it possible for them to hide any bends in the wheel or would they all be noticeable?
