>>If you buy them but one or two are bent, then the deal you got on them just turned out to be no deal at all.<<
Can even be true with new wheels. I bought a set of 4 new non OEM Viggen wheels off fleabay for $400 to replace the 12 year old quite "square" and scuffed wheels that came with the Viggen I bought last fall. At that price they had to be Chinese copies. They looked great but when I mounted the tires I found that two of them were more out of round than the notoriously soft original rims! Steering wheel was shaking really bad and moving them to the rear wasn't much of an improvement. I thought about returning them but instead paid $175 to have them made round. Crossing my fingers that the alloy they used was better than the marshmellow based alloy used in the originals. Perhaps they will stay true for a few years until I can afford some quality alloys. Lesson? You usually get what you pay for.
