Are these wheels legit?

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what you thought about these wheels. Do you think they are legit?

Thanks,

Alex

Just found out they have been refurbished. Is that ok, or is it something I should probably avoid?

Are you in the UK? If not, why go through the hassle of shipping used wheels

refurbished could mean anything; new paint, sanding etc.. Now if they are talking about refurbished tires, id walk away fast. Who knows what that means.

Haha, I’m in the UK mate - so no dramas with shipping etc. He said there is no curb damage, cracks or defects. Would you stay away from refurbished alloys though?

As long as they were not bent and then straightened I don't see the big deal, as long as you are getting a good deal.
