Good price for Mag Marchesini's??

TP · 03-Dec-2004, 19:19

How does £460 sound?

Here

I was sorely tempted ...

Pretty good price but they definately need checking out, priming and repainting. Can you see the damage around the edge of the rims?

Yep - thought that they had tyre's changed by an 'enthusiastic' fitter ...

I would have got them painted again

But, they're not mine ...

Yeh - but I wonder if they're really magnesium - tricky to tell with only a quick glance.

look a bit rough to me guys, by the time you have got them all refubed etc, you could probably found an allmost new pair.

From what it sounds like I'm glad I didn't then!!!

Need to save the pennies at the moment anyway

They are. The ally ones have a small inset ridge down each leg.

Do I need to be looking for anything in particular.......coz if there sh*te I will walk away.......
Help me please!!!!!!!!

Just be aware that if they need respraying - and they look like they do, that you're looking at a bill of around £160 to spray magnesiums.
