Hey guys... Are these Alloys worth the hastle in getting refurbed?

Post by jimmybonsaville »

Hi guys after spending just over a week with MR2 ive come to the conclusion...even tho i only paid £650 for her....ive got a bargain and shes a keeper. Lol i only bought it on a whim and well if it had dropped its ar$e i could have lived with it knowing only cost me so little...but truth is ive fallen in love with the damn thing so its staying and living with the other car and 2 motorbikes haha....

anyways 1st things that need attention are the alloys i think. They are in pretty bad shape scuffs and peeling paint etc. Ive looked on google and even searched loads of threads on here and have never seen these alloys before so im unsure if they are worth anything...and worth refurbing. Ive seen normal sets in pretty good condition got for same amount i can imagine it costs to refurb them. I do like the look of the alloys however. They are labeled B.H...heres a pic

Any opinions??

Cheers
