Maybe if there where less sets in the back of your garage and others garages they would not be that price however £350 then £350 with these guys to have them dipped and powder coated and diamond cut and you would have a nice better than new set http://www.lepsons.com/

I would have thought that was what a new set would be worth

the ones at £350 didn't go either.

I do feel that, although these are Vixen wheels, wheels, are wheels, are wheels - are wheels!

One simply cannot charge silly prices for items, although rare, are not in demand. Clearly there is more demand for the corner bumpers as we saw a few weeks ago.

I would happily pay £200 for a set of rubbish condition wheels and maybe £250-300 for some goodish ones. They would all need to be refurbed and painted anyway.

just my 2p

I must say I agree £50 a wheel that need refurbished is fair that make them ££125 a wheel refurbished which is exactly what others on here paid when some single wheels came up refurbished
However £200 or £350 £150 difference on something that's not that easy to find a few have come up recently but Murphy's Law if you doing a long restoration and leave finding the wheels to the last minute and you would willingly pay £350

I could do with one but it needs to be scruffy to match the rest (my spare has a chip out of the rim). Willing to pay as much as £25 for it too.
