The savings on used items are pretty tempting, I'm just afraid of being scammed out of easy $$$
Thank you for the idea though.

In reality it doesn't matter if wheels were used 5 miles or 500,000 miles. The conditions in which they were used, how well they were taken care of and if they were damaged by an external source are all much more important than distance. The nice part about wheels is that ones that have been beat on usually show it very clearly in the form of abrasions, pit marks, worn or touched up paint bends and small cracks. Don't need to be an expert to see any of those things.
