I've got a set of those wheels with an almost used up set of Michelins. They've got working sensors and one of them has very slight curb rash. Send me a PM if you want me to take some pix and work out a deal.

Bottom line why risk it.

You will never enjoy the car with those wheels on it. Every time you start the engine you will be worried and at that point better to buy a civic or something.

This will most likely cost more than what the wheels are worth. If you have a company locally that performs nondestructive testing they can help you out. I have perfomed a few examinations on fire damaged components.

This guy knows what he's talking about!

or maybe it just might be easier and cheaper as you said to just steer clear.

As everyone else said, probably better to steer clear of these wheels. Chances are they are probably okay, but it's not really worth the risk.
