my alloys could do with reconditioning (trying to sell it), to do it properly its looking like approx 300quid to do and get alloys/car to garage for a whole day. other option is to buy new set of oem alloys for 200 quid more and get tyres swapped over and sell the mv1's. anyone any other ideas?

These guys might be worth a call - they provide loan wheels:

I think they use Lepsons so you'd get a great job (they are highly recommended in the Porsche section) - not sure about price though.

I have a set of Mint condition MV2 replicas with tyres (half worn) that i'm looking to sell on

They are not staggered fitment , but are in great condition, and I bet the majority of buyers would not be fussed, PM me if interested.

can you get innertubes for the low profiles?

Surely they are tubeless? Am I missing something?

Only possible reason I can think of for requiring innertubes is if the wheels no longer seal correctly on the bead due to damage or the alloy material has developed a porosity issue.

Alloys in good condition should never need innertubes.
