Planning a set of speedline comp 2's for the 106.

Cant face paying £440 without tyres, but found a set local with tyres for £200.

Problem is:



Big ass chip out the rim of one wheel.

Powercoat is starting to flake on another:



Other two are in quite good nick tho.

Id imagine the chipped on could be repaired easily?

But its £200 for 4 with tyres, even buying a new rim for £100 would work out cheaper

Ebay the wheels for significantly more than they're worth and find some OE steels or something.
