Has anyone purchased used wheels from RaceWheelRental.com? 

 Can you give me your thoughts?  Is just buying from ebay better?

    We bought Jess's race wheels from them (I think) on site at IMLou in 2011 and they have worked flawlessly ever since. We got a really good deal on an 808-rear/404-front set (non-firecrest) with a Powertap SL+. I figured they had only been used for like 5-10 IM races and did not see the abuse that might come from daily riding with potential potholes, etc. We pulled their stickers off and got a new set from eBay for like $25 or so...

    Yep.... What JW said! Was about to comment, but I see he's got me covered! Wheels are perfect, PT is flawless. No issues, GREAT price.

    Jonathan,
    I have been looking for a while, but was thinking of waiting until the winter to see of the demand goes down a little.
    Also there are some things on here that I found useful to read through. Good luck.
