Can you post some pictures up as we can't see what's on and also make of tyres.  Usually anything that needs more than a DIY refurb doesn't fetch much due to the cost of getting a professional job.

What wheels are you thinking of putting on as a replacement as well, as someone may be interested in swapping?

Perhaps the type/ size of wheel/tyre may help someone with an opinion. :)

They are the 14" le castellet.. Unfortunately it's the 15" which are worth more. A good set of 15" might get £300 or more if they are absolutely mint condition. I doubt you would get half that for the 14's.. I think they look fine on your car as they are to be honest..

The 15" were anodised as a finish and so are impossible to get refurbed back to original spec. I'm not sure if the 14's are anodised or just polished. But they are painted internally with the grey whereas the 15's are showing the anodised finish completely. They were meant to be a lightweight wheel which were very strong and the fact they are forged means you can polish them to a mirror finish without them oxidising the same way normal alloy wheels do when the elements get to the bare metal.
