How to Inspect Used Rims for Curb Rash and Damage

Curb rash is the most common form of rim damage and occurs when wheels contact road surfaces. Inspect the inner rim edge for smoothness, check for bent spokes or deformation, and look at bolt centers for cracks or wear. Test rim balance if possible and compare the actual specs to the listing. Always request close-up photos of all sides before purchasing used rims.
