Default 4 x Volvo 17" Comet Wheels

I have a set of 4 17" Comet alloy wheels in average to good condition. There is some flaking of the lacquer and some slight kerbing, so would benefit from a refurb.

I was going to have these painted in the dark Anthracite that Volvo do, but there are other things that need doing to my 850 before I start "fannying" out with alloy wheels.

A set of these recently didn't sell on eBay for £211.88 as they didn't reach their reserve, and one of those wheels had a dent in it. With that in mind, I am looking for around the bargain price of £200 (plus I am willing to have them delivered to you at cost, which the eBay seller didn't).

PM me if you are interested!

PM sent.

EDIT: Just checked bank and can't afford them atm so I'm (reluctently) withdrawing from this one.

Good luck with the sale.

I got these after putting the Columbas up for sale mate - honest! I only decided last night that I really should put money into getting the oil leak fixed, rather than sorting the alloys (Stupid I know! lol).

These Comets are still FOR SALE, and before you think that the postage cost would make it not worth it:-

I recently sent a set of 16" wheels to Northern Ireland via DHL (with a £250 compensation applied), for a little under £30.
