FOR SALE: Mint condition facelift Elite alloys 17"

I have a set of mint condition Facelift Elite alloys, 17" for sale. Physically there isnt a mark on them, not a kerb mark or scrape at all, you won't find a set in better condition.

They were painted white, and looked stunning, but in the interests of returning them to silver the paint wasn't etched on, so a quick blast with the jet washer should get have them back to their original paint, or you could keep them white.

Come complete with centre caps. Tyres need replacing. Wheels have been in storage and so could do with a clean, although if blasting the white paint off you won't need to worry about this anyway. Will also fit other 5 stud Vauxhalls.

£200 takes them. Pics to follow.  Thumbs Up!

Collection OR can arrange courier for around £35.

the marks on this wheel arent damage or scuffs, just newspaper print etc from storage, although to the right of the pic you can see where some of the white paint has been shifted with the hosepipe revealing the original silver underneath!

me thinks you should jet wash them, and youd sell them right away, white only suits some colours of cars so your buyer market is restricted.

good point...

From a buyers point of view...

You have put on a weak coat of paint that can be jetwashed off..

therfore I guess the white will come off with age / normal cleaning..

I would be wondering why have you painted them, what horrors are hiding beneath the white paint.

If they were am honest looking set of normal alloys, I think a lot of people would be more temped..

point taken, but they're not hiding anything at all. like i said earlier, physically the wheels themselves are in mint condition. white was just a personal choice as fancied something a bit different. they work well, particularly on a black car.  Thumbs Up!
