After speaking to a friend, I have started to wonder: Is it unsafe to use second hand wheels on my mini? Will they randomly break while driving?

    old alloys can suffer from cracks. I personally would have any old alloys crack tested before use. Old steels should be ok just check for any excessive corrosion or wear where the wheel nuts locate.

    Ok, that makes sense. Would a wheel shop be able to do a crack test? Like the people who do wheel balancing and refurbish wheels.

    Thing is I had to get two of the wheels refurbished and so I asked the people at a mag refurbishment place to check all four and they said they were fine.
