Picked them up just, £650 with decent sport max tyres all round. Couldn’t see any cracks and all had very stamps insde, so feel pretty happy.
Came off a golf r estate, so seemed to be genuine.
They have two small kerbs and one chip - is there a touch up paint I can get for them?
Also, will be fitting at the wknd - the guy said he wasn’t sure which ones came off the front - does it matter which I put on the front as all are 235’s?

That’s a very good price indeed.
What has the guy replaced them with?
I haven’t found any Pretoria touch up paint that actually matches yet so certainly couldn’t recommend any. The paints I’ve tried stand out like a sore thumb so I got a couple refurbed even though they weren’t kerbed, just some stone chips which annoyed me nevertheless. For £650 you could easily factor in refurbishing a couple and still be quids in.
It doesn’t matter what axle they came off. Just match them as close as possible on tread depth per axle (if you’re going to replace them eventually with a different brand then put the best tread on the front and wear them down evenly, replace at around 3mm) then adjust the tyre pressures to suit.
