I have just bought these wheels. They are of a Vectra.
Got them for 50 quid...not bad!
will have to chnge the tyres before i put them on ether going for 195/50/15 or 195/45/15 not sure yet??
old tyres will go on my mums rover so thts a plus!







But the question is..do you think its worth doing a little refurb before i fit the new tyres on??

Depends how unhappy you are with the current condition. Tyres need to be 45.

should be a 45, can get away with a 50. Also 50s are usually cheaper.

they's benefit from stick on weights on the inside and the paint will almost certainly be skanky underneath the current rim weights, so a quick spruce will probably be worthwhile.
