Title: Refurb? or not to refurb?
Post by: Eddie07 on January 19, 2014, 08:12:50 pm
Would like peoples opinion. I was thinking to get a refurb to my 18" Monza's I'm currently running (will be selling to put some 19" detroits).

1// is it worth refurbishing them to sell? worth about £200 with tyres with curbing (mrs drove the car one weekend and WONT be driving the car ever again. ever. will be buying her her own car v.soon)

2// or refurb them and sell for 400 (thats what I paid for them 6m ago)...

If a refurb, what do people thing are the best colour to buy Monza's in? I remember seeing alot of black monza's knocking about, is it best to get shadow style? black? or just leave them primed?





Any opinions welcome

Are they the Monza II wheels? If so, I think people really want them diamond cut - been looking into this recently and it's generally approx £100 per wheel. However, if you're painting to sell I would say just get them done silver to keep your market as wide as possible (unless you can get them done to a high standard polished/chrome-look finish?).

thanks, the 19's i've got i'm getting diamond cut and that 110 a corner, cant justify that in my head as there not diamond cut already and definitely wouldn't get the money back for them.

I like the idea of polished silver though.

thanks
