    They look fresh painted, probably just had the refurb done to sell them. They look ok, but ask for some larger pictures in a brighter light to see if he's done a decent job on the refub. Its hard to tell on the smalle Ebay pictures ...

    2,200 Euros ... approx. AUS$3,600 ... and then to have to keep them clean ... think I could live without them.

    Lots of chrome! Great rims and look like a decent job on the refurb.

    Chrome worries me a bit, I've had people contact me who have done this to their wheels and found it flakes/chips off due to corrosion etc between the alloy and chrome, Cant really fix them after either.

    They're not chrome, just polished alloy then sealed, probably easier to clean than paint, just not sure if its a bit too much bling !
    Expensive but i just got $3000 for mine, he wants 180 euro for postage.

    Id believe the lips are polished and sealed but the centers, look plated as the back mounting face is chromed also and the shine is extremely even for polished alloy.

    I know what you're saying, they do look chrome, but i'm sure he would of said so if they were. I've seen other polished sets looking like this too.

    Chroming them costs a fortune, usually people send them to America for it.
