Default Facelift GSI alloys

Just some advice really. Donna really wants to fit facelift GSI alloys to the '200 while we wait out a set of Speedlines, so we can sort the brakes and everything else in the meantime.

But what is the going rate for these wheels these days then?

Also, are they easy enough to refurb kerbing damage and can they be re-sprayed easily enough as well? They need to be white to keep in with the rest of the car really.

Comments and thoughts are welcome.

Id be looking to pay:

(Without tyres)
£150 for an OK set, and about £250 for a mint set

Or

(With tyres)
£200 for an OK set, and about £400 for a mint set

As far as refurbing/ painting them... by the time you buy all you need to do them, and spent hours 'furbing them- you'd be just as well paying someone to refurb and paint them for you properly.

Thanks for the information matey, I take it the prefacelift ones are much cheaper then?? I'm wondering if it would look odd with them for now, but at least they are the same size as the Speedlines so we can sort everything else out in the meantime.

Not really sure mate.. tbh I've not seen many sets of PH1 GSI alloys up for sale.

Donna wants facelift GSi rims anyway, so thats what we're gonna look for. Got a couple of people looking for me now, hopefully I'll pick up a bargain.
