I am sure these wheels are perfect, but you are offering the wheels for exactly the cost of new ones from Trigo. The complete set is 2400, and since you can purcahse the hub adapters for $750, that makes the price $1650 for the wheels. My understanding is that you are offering the wheels without the adapters for $1650. You might want to give the buyer a small discount to entice. I am sure yours are as good as new, but a buyer does not have the same warrantees as you do as the primary purchaser of the wheels. Maybe that's a moot point. I also think you misunderstood Rick Parker's point, if you were to machine the inner wheel face down by 1/4 inch and you could shorten the wheel pins by the same, you would effectively alter the the backspacing of the wheel such that the wheel would move 1/4 inch toward the inside of the wheel well. The questions about how much you can safely remove from the inner face and how short the wheel studs can be, I cannot answer, but Rick's theory is sensible. Good luck
