Buying new vs used rims/tires

Since getting my maxima, I have been searching online all over for some nice 20 inch rims/tires. I at first wanted to go up to 22, but after talking to a few max owners that have or used to have 22s, the weight slows down the ride considerably. I wanted to ask what you guys experience has been that have bought both new and used rims.

I have seen a few good pairs of used sets that are 50% less than what they cost new, but most of the time the tire tread is gone on one or two of the tires, or the rims might have some scratches etc.

For the money, is it worth to drop the 1500-2500 for some 20s brand new, or keep looking and stay in the 750-1250 range for used 20s?
