Default oe remans

Does anyone have any experience with purchasing oe remanufactured wheels like those from Hubcap Heaven? http://www.hubcaphaven.com/mm5/merchant.mv...tegory_Code=411 I'm looking for an extra set for autocross. I compete in a stock.

My $0.02 on buying remanufactured wheels are that it really depends on what condition the rims where before they needed to be "remanufactured". The process typically involves filling in the deeper scratches and refinishing the wheel. I've seen so-called remanufactured wheels that were still bent and filled w/ putty vs. any sort of alloy but that's probably the extreme case.

Either way, I'd recommend looking for a second hand set. Usually there are a number floating around. If you want a cheap AP1 set I have one available w/ Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. PM for details.

The problem is they could have hairline cracks that can't be seen except by Xray.
