Cheers guys nah Icy i left em in, i only bascily redid the outer rim, the spoked part was ok, it was just the outer bit had got kurbed by the previous owner and corrosion had got in really badly.
So i bascily rubbed all the laquer and corrosion off, then sprayed with undercoat, alloy wheel paint and then laquer, quite pleased with the result.
Took me a while to do Colin, kinda got fed up with rubbing em down and lost interest but then pulled my finger out and did em in the end

The wheels in good nick with good tyres prob 150-200 hks filter 60-100
exhaust if system and stainless 150ish they are just rough guesses but you would be surprised i mean that is where i sold my r5 turbs remeber

Exhaust is stainless and comes with a De-cat pipe - cost about £400
Think its best starting low with a reserve or just start at what you would take for it and see what happens
