My only "rule" has been does this seem/feel legit and is the communication appropriate?
I've bought and sold a lot of stuff via forums like this one without issues.

I have only done deals where items are prepaid. Regardless of shipping company, they'll offer added insurance coverage assuming you pay extra (e.g. USPS was $1/100 of coverage over $500 for $1500 in Lotus parts I sold and shipped last week).

Key thing for me with yours are pics of the inside with oem casting/mold stamping to confirm what otherwise seems obvious from the pics. Similar to what you are considering, I just bought years old, oem, new rims last fall via eBay. Some times these sit around for just in case circumstances or in a vendor's display case.

I personally don't place any added value on "never used" because "like new" is all I'll need once a tire is mounted. So... the deal seems reasonable to me, but that's just my $0.02.

Good luck regardless.
