Buying second hand wheels

[hornetrider]

So I've bought some alloys unseen with winter tyres. Will be paying cash in collection.

Rather than slinging them straight in the boot, was thinking of checking them by whipping one of my wheels off when I get there and mounting each wheel in turn, giving it a quick spin to check for buckles/flat spots. Probably a 15 min task all told.

Sensible/overkill? What do you do?

If you wanted to fit them to the car before buying I think I'd politely tell you to sod off!

Why?

Did you read and understand my post? I'm not intending to drive on them.

Whip ONE of my wheels off and stick the used wheels on the hub one by one, spinning them by hand.

They are OEM BMW alloys which are renowned for being made of cheese, and I'm paying more than 500 for them.
