Hello, my name is Danny and I was wondering what you guys think about buying used 6uls. The owner claims that they have ten track days on them and the only damage is from rubbing on the inside lip from when he had stock springs. Should I be worried about buying used track wheels even if they look perfect and are 6uls?

Wheels will not last forever, all wheels can fail under certain stress.

This one failed in a normal corner after two years of abuse. I'm sure there would have been cracks before the session (this was on the first lap), but thorough inspection before each session is not in the routines, yet (after each weekend is not a bad idea I guess).

You don't need to wail on it with the hammer end, just bonk it with the handle hard enough to make it ring. Save the hammer end for steel rims.
