Aluminum wheels post crash?
So I took a nasty spill at around 23 about 8 weeks back and fractured my clavicle. Been riding my Roubaix on the trainer and am ready to hit the road again. But I'm a little wary about taking the carbon frame back on the road. I'll probably get a Felt AR5 or Cervelo S2, but would like to keep my Soul 4.0 wheels.
The wheels look to be in good shape. Is there any danger of using post-crash aluminum wheels on my new frame, or should I just get some new wheels for the new frame as well?

Just inspect them for damage and you should be good to go if you don't see any. They may need to be trued after taking a hard hit.
