I've never bought used wheels but that seems to be very much the situation on almost every time I look into the classifieds in here. Several times I see somebody trying to sell a $3k new set of wheels for $2.5k that are damaged.
Are people that hard up for wheels that they are willing to get damaged product for no real discount considering the cost to repair the wheel? Even cheaper $200 wheels with barely a $20 decrease in price with damage are common.
And furthermore how is everybody damaging their wheels like this in the first place? I've been driving for about 24 years and never damaged a wheel and I do not take it easy driving most of the time.

Factors to consider in people who damage wheels:
Salt

If you're new to modifying cars, these are great factors to consider. And car parts don't decrease in value as quickly as something like a phone. Sometimes the seller does ask for too much or too little, constantly checking is always a good idea, some sales only last 5 minutes, some 5 weeks.
