New alloys - good deal?
 
I'm after some new alloys as mine are now getting quite corroded and I've been quoted £250 to get them sandblasted and powder coated.

I've found these on online which I really like the look of but they seem a little cheap?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4560875-AL...item3f53d05b0a

It's for a 2005 STI 5x114.3 (I think).

I've never heard of MAK alloys though and they come from Italy but postage is free.

Not sure if it's a good deal or best to stay away from ebay wheels?

Very kind thank you but quite far away. Will a blast and powder coat stop the corrosion from coming back for a long time?

As long as they do a good job it should last a few years at least. :thumb:

They sold MAK wheels through the main dealers, so can't see them being crap. I had a set of GTZ from a main dealer and these were really nice

I have been reading up about MAK wheels and they seem to get a very good write up. I think I would get them from a UK dealer though not Italian eBay.

Debating refurbish mine still though.

get them refurbed, its a fraction of the price of any cheap alloys + tyres.
