I'd bet SOMEONE on the forum has a rear wheel laying around after upgrading to aftermarket wheels.... THAT I'd be more confident in buying than anything used, for the reasons already mentioned.
Yea, I'd post a WTB ad here and maybe start a thread on the Facebook page - SOMEONE has a good, used wheel laying around that you could trust to be good!
I have extra wheels front and rear, for both NA's and SRT"s if anyone wishes to "borrow" them until they get new ones. I keep them for emergencies only. For Friends and just in case one of mine cracks and I am Broke. Which lately is often.
Crumpy's SRT rear wheel did this spontaneously last year and I was able to keep her on the road until I could replace her broken one with a clean wheel bought at my convenience..
Diana, these wheels crack occasionally. Not a bad idea to buy a cheap rashed one of each and keep them around.
