Default just bought these for £200, good deal or not?

just bought these for 200 notes. they all need refurbing around the edges and a little spray, one is kerbed quite badly, and ill be buying a new one to replace it. all four tyres are new toyo proxies

had quotes ranging from £30-£65 a wheel...more expensive if they are on a car and they have to take off and replace, but these are off the car. so that price, jus need to refurb 3 of them, and buy one alloy and put the 4th tyre on it

they are genuine prodrive pff7's

Thumbs up

Blinking good deal there matey as the toyo tyres are expensive on thier own , i wouldnt be buying another rim though, id be fixing that one you think is really bad, a good alloy repair shop will do it no probs. I got my RB5 wheels refurbed there, cost me £280 all in and they took tyres off/put them on again after. Wheels are as good inside as outside, and dare I say it better than new condition :







Get a good company to do them matey, it will be worth it in the long run....

Sorry shoud have said, its a place called Nu-Luk Wheels in N. Ireland, bit far for many of yous but im sure there are plenty of people over in England/Wales/Scotland etc that would be just as good....i could have got them done elsewere for less money but this would have been a 'face only' paint job with the inside of the rim not being touched.

To be honest im glad i paid the extra money to get the complete wheel painted, and now that the wheels are like new i will tend to keep it that way!!

Good price, I sold mine for £450.
Far too wide for a classic imo.
