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

Subaru P1 P-FF7 gold alloys on eBay, also, Wheels with Tyres, Car Wheels, Tyres Trims, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 11-Jun-08 17:36:25 BST)

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.
