Hi guys

As you all know I'm looking for some wheels. Been toying with the idea of some Dare wheels but thinking I would rather buy genuine.

Anyway these have done up literally 2 miles from my house. The are in serious need of a refurb.

They all have the center caps, 15" 4x100 7.5 et25

Do these look worth it for £100

That is my thoughts to.

Seems a shame to waste a really nice wheel

I think the lip is beyond re-polishing but a nice paintjob would be good on my very.

Thanks

They looked a good buy until that last wheel but I'm sure you can buy the wheels individually, you certainly could a few years ago.

The other 3 rims can easily be brought back to a full polished lip, my OZs were much much worse than that (including heaving kurbing) but a session on a lathe brought them back.

I'm still on the fence regarding these.

I have seen a set of MIM 1900's on the bay or £250 that need a refurb.

I was thinking I could have these Ronals fully redurbed and bought for £300. The just out my current tyres on

I would rip his arm off for £100. That last one can be fixed (ive seen worse) and Ronals are very sought after. That's my two pennith!

Ronal LS for 100? I'd be all over it. They were my fall back wheel choice if I couldn't get a set of Alpinas.
