No such thing as a free lunch and you get what you pay for are two sayings to consider.
My son had a beemer with after market wheels and one of them cracked through 3 out of the 5 spokes.
The first he knew was a strange noise as he was going along slowly. Certainly makes you aware of how dangerous cheap wheels can be.
I think the days of prepping ready for sale beforehand are gone.
Lots of these traders only want ot do the work after a sale is confirmed. Guess this gives them options of money off if people buy as is.
Most `enthusiats` are dissapointed with this approach and would rather see the car as good as it can be at the point of sale.
Just have to keep looking for a decent one.
