Default AAA sells refurbished rims

....I've seen some of the rims that go to these types of companies (I have no experience with AAA though) and I'd stay away from them. While a wheel can be refurbished to be cosmetically fine, it is unknown what damage the rim has actually sustained - internal metal fatigue or cracks are pretty common.

I'd have no qualms about sending them a curbed rim for repair (with the provision that I get my rim back - not an exchange), but I wouldn't buy an unknown rim....
