Title: Standard GTI Rims, worth a refurb? Size? Value? Comments :)
Post by: Mikester on 06 February 2008, 17:27
Was thinking of refurbing (keeping original) my standard alloys, as they are shockingly kerbed and ruined. Was originally going to get some BBS Splits from a VR and refurb them, but im thinkin now that i dont want to cash on them.

So really im asking, are they worth the refurb? How much is a good set worth to sell on?

Also this soudns dumb, but are they 15inch? Because they look like 14 :S Athough my ride is like 6ft of the ground!


Cheers.

VR6 never came with splits, that was the annie
VR6 bbs are 1 pc

worth refurbing ur gti rims if u aint gonna curb them again

they are 15 in, look at the tyre size, will have a 15 in it eg 205/50/15, or 195/50/15

 :wink:

Not alot, mainly because everyone tries to get rid.

Refurbed with decent tyres you might get a £100 at best I'd of thought.

Conditons of these dont really affect the price by much.
