Alloy upgrade time? - Sell or Refurb and Keep?

[Buck]

Hi

I have a genuine set of R32 18" alloys on my GTD that I use over winter with my winter tyres on and they are in need of refurbishment.

I'm wondering whether to buy a new set of alloys or just get these refurbished.

I'm also wondering what sort of price I can get for the alloys as they are as I don't think it'd be worth me getting them stripped and painted would be worth it if I was selling?


Any thoughts?

I'd get them refurbished. Should only be £150-250 whereas replacing them will be upwards of £500 since you'll be wanting clean ones.

If you opt for new wheels these are quite a good price for some new genuine alloys, wouldn't go with reps some are poor build quality

they look like the zolder alloys he has though

No mention of what style r32 alloys he has. Just a suggestion don't think you'd get genuine alloys any cheaper.

Had a quote from a good refurbisher (Metal Magic in Barnsley) and it's £240 all in including tyre refitting and balancing.  Bit more than I thought it might be but not too bad.

I was toying with graphite but I think on my black car, silver will be best
