locally but I don't exactly know what to look out for. Any tips and info?
can rings be reused as well?

If they have holes in them then I would walk away. Also, if the rings come out in little partial pieces, that's not good either.
Or just get new pistons since the machine costs and the time involved in installing any set of forged pistons are the bigger expense than the pistons themselfs anyway.
If you do get them, I would have your machinist look them over carefully when doing the work on the block.

Personally, for $100 I would buy them and take them to a machine shop to get looked over. Its worth the risk to me to potentially save $350-400. They can test them for cracks etc... If they turn out bad then you have a loss, but the chances of all of them being bad is slim. Then you can just order a couple replacement slugs direct from wiseco. Personally don't see the downside other than the potential $100 loss. If you can afford to risk that I say take it.
