Default Volans, Titan or Comet wheels

I'm putting out the feelers for a set of 17" Wheels.
Volans, Titan or Comet.
A set of four, condition unimportant.
If certainly requiring a refurb however, understand that this will cost me £200 so please consider this when formulating your price.
With or without tyres.
Replies by PM please.

best bet is comets

titans are rare as hens teeth

volans bend/buckle awfully easily

C70 ones are 7.5J whereas S/V are 7J

There is a set of volans sitting on an 850r in a breakers in norwich. I was there Saturday and it had them on. They need refurbishing.

The breakers is NR15 1HJ - Cit-Ren.

I have a set of volans (x5 alloys) that need refurb. I paid £300. I imagine you may be able to get the cheaper from breakers.
