Suggestion
I've sold sets that would have cost more to buy and refurbish compared to buying a mint set - I bought a brand new replica set for a Mini, sold the old ropy ones and made a profit, and as a buyer my Cayenne 20" Sport Design wheels cost more by the time they'd been refurbished than a mint set would have cost (the other thing I considered was new replica GTS-style ones, which would also have cost a bit less).

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My 996tt wheels are clean, not Kerbed, the exterior faces are good but they have been touched up in the past (before me). In the barrels they have some big scabs - some have flaked. The rest of the car is pretty mint so it was niggling me, so I bought another set and sent them off to have had them refurbed (I am in France and car care as such is 10 years behind). Just to put the new tyres on the refurbed wheels, then swap over and geo. I want to sell my original set, is popular opinion to refurb or as is? Obviously there is a selling price difference.

POST 2Original post

I've found that the cost of refurbishing is not recouped when wheels are sold on eBay. I've sold sets that would have cost more to buy and refurbish compared to buying a mint set - I bought a brand new replica set for a Mini, sold the old ropy ones and made a profit, and as a buyer my Cayenne 20" Sport Design wheels cost more by the time they'd been refurbished than a mint set would have cost (the other thing I considered was new replica GTS-style ones, which would also have cost a bit less).
