To refurb or not to refurb...

[jubei]

...my rays before selling them and getting Rota GTRs. My current wheels have been painted black by the previous owner and are in good but not unmarked condition. But should i just sell them as they are, or have them refurbed first to get a higher price? Here's a picture, although they're not clean at the moment:

 

 

I've seen a few people have had them refurbed to a smoked chrome finish, which seemed really popular and am wonderng what sort of price a set with part work Falkens might fetch?

A full set of Rays sell for around £500.

You'd be spending £200 to refurb all 4.

 

Do you reckon you can then sell them for £700+ ?

 

If so, then it's worth refurbing them.

If not, then there's no point as you would be losing money in the grand scheme of things.

Christ they look a spit of mine. Short wheel nuts though

Nah - you could spend all that money refurbing them and they may not be to the buyers taste - no one would expect perfect wheels if they're used. Doubt it will detract too much from value either if they not too bad.

Denim Guy is right

Thanks for the advice guys, I won't bother with refurbished and will just put them up for sale as they are.
