Should I buy these used Wiseco 81mm pistons? *HUGE PICS, 56k = FUBAR*
I won an eBay auction for some 81mm Wiseco pistons for a GSR. I am getting them for only $67 shipped 
My question is: one of the pistons is lightly damaged (but deemed "usable" by a local machine shop, according to the guy), and they obviously need new rings (not sure which ones to buy, still
). Am I getting a good deal, or is it more trouble than it's worth for these (if I need a new piston AND all new rings)?
Sorry for the massive pics

That piston looks like crap. Looks like detonation damage, I'd pass on them.

You mean you lost the auction. 
I think you got ripped off for $67
That piston is un-usable and you will probably discover the others are not right, either.

Good thing I told him I wouldn't be paying until I saw detailed up-close pictures of each piston, on the side skirt and top portion.
I'll pass, thanks guys
