    Almost all sets of second hand alloys you buy will need at least some level of refurb....

    For sure, but these would need to be completely redone. I actually think they were refurbished or painted (badly) to a different colour in a past life and the paint is flaking and breaking off all over the wheels, they look terrible. Cheapest quote I got for the job was €600.

    For gold plating ???

    Blasting and powdercoating is around €70 a wheel (in Radfix, Galway anyhow)....

    They're a cult wheel and a shame to throw them out indeed. Where are you based ?
