I was looking for parts and saw this. I am actually in Quebec right now, but I have a second pair of wheels already. Great price if somebody needs them. I'm coming back to the US in August, so if somebody wants them and does not want to ship Intl I can get them and ship to you once stateside.

Buyer beware, those outer halves are serverly dented. If they are not cracked (might be albe to weld them) you need to ensure that the dents have not created a bent outer face. If the outer face which has the wheel bearing race is not parallel to the inner face the bearings will be mis-aligned.
What you are likely to get is two inner halves that need new brake linings.
Maybe they are ok, but I would ask the buyer to provide measurements & photos to verify bearing race alignment.
It seems many used wheels have the outer halves dented/deformed. One can speculate that this is due to ground loop forces as the outer wheel gets shoved across the pavement or turf or ground ruts. If anyone has evidence of how this damage occurs it would be interesting to know.Mark
