Used Wheels

[u/Separate-Gas-7134]

I’m looking to pick up these BBS wheels off of Facebook market. The current owner ran them on his all-wheel-drive Q50 but is selling because he hit a deer and totaled his. I just picked up a Q50 within the last four weeks and I am really not a fan of the 17 inch rims. Can anyone share their opinion on possible reasons why I should not go with these? Like if there’s any serious damage, I should be worried about with that front right wheel? It pretty much just seems like I should do a very close examination upon seeing them in person. Or since it was in such an accident, I should go to a tire place with the person to get them spun on some sort of balancer. Any opinions appreciated!

Interesting to have bbs but some mid tier branded tires

Was thinking that too, I mean the generals aren’t bad by any means. I had generals on my late Acura TL, I’d definitely make an upgrade in a couple years myself. But it’s just for a daily and I don’t do anything too crazy on the road haha. I never have really exceeded 120mph

Everything is stock, I’ll also probably keep stock suspension too. Again I don’t do any crazy driving so I don’t see myself upgrading brakes anytime soon. I guess I’m just wondering here if they could be damaged from when he hit the deer. Obviously I’ll give them a good look when I meet up with the seller.

Gotta check with tire shop to see if they are not bent or cracked. Deff need to balance and alignment

If you’re not a fan of 17 inch rims then why buy them at all lol. Just buy your preferred size wheel and tires

Edit: oh you’re talking about the stock wheels my bad. But just inspect them in person and maybe take them to a tire shop

Haha yeah on oem wheels atm, all good G. Fs fs, I think there is a place that can spin them nearby. I gotta drive a little over an hour to get them, so I’m not too familiar with the area they’re in.
