Default 3 Piece Wheels - When to rebuild?

I just got a set of used Fikse FM10's, the seller told me they last were used "few years ago". Nothing looks visually wrong with them, the sealant looks intact.

I haven't mount tires yet and I ordered the hardware from Fikse. Should I rebuild, re-troque and seal as a precaution or is one of those things that is better to leave it along unless there is a problem?

I'll be using them for track days only.

I'll appreciate any feedback

Cheers,
David

Visually check for cracks. No need to rebuild if they hold air. Verifying torque of bolts is probably a good idea. I was told bolts should be 168 inch pounds for my Fikse 3 piece rims.

Have fun and enjoy them.

Steve, thanks for replying. You are correct, called Fikse and they told me 168 in/lbs torque.

For sealant they recommended Dow Corning 832 if anybody needs to know.

Cheers,
David
