How you work that out...used condoms full of the icky stuff used pulleys look exactly the same. Its a chunk of metal. Its like saying if you bought a 2nd hand car the pulleys need replacing as there not new. It makes zero difference. If you get them for a decent price its saving cash for something that basically will last longer than the engine. Do you honestly see a rubber band destroying a metal circle?...Must be some rubber band to do any harm to it!

I would think that as long as there is no visible damage (bent lips, out of round, etc.) there wouldn't be a problem. You may want to take it easy for a few miles and check them out, not to question 2006gtsc, but things can happen between point a and b without any wrong intentions.

+1 on those wheels 2006gtsc what style are they! I think those are what I have been looking for.

My concern would be that they are aluminum and have already been compressed when they were installed on the first vehicle. That could cause them to sit further in, possibly causing the belt to jump off much easier. The bolts will now sit deeper in and you may not achieve proper torquing. They could be out of round ever so slightly that the naked eye can't see it. There could be no issue at all - but for a few bucks why take that chance?

So in reference to my comment - sure they'll probably work, but their integrity has been compromised.
