With used wheels it will always be difficult to determine how true they are vertically and horizontally. Some of the money you save on buying them may be spent getting them trued. And if they need refinishing they should be really cheap. I think any wheels, OEM or aftermarket, in factory OEM widths for these cars, where the spokes are offset closer to the outer rim are going to be somewhat susceptible to bending on what passes for roads in the NY metro area. Buying new aftermarket wheels you'll know you are starting out true. If you go aftermarket, stick with a good brand and make sure the wheel centers are the right size (concentric?) to fit snug on the hub carriers. You don't want to rely on torqueing the lug bolts to get the wheel centered on the hub in my humble opinion.
