I would use them as winter wheels so the soild look would be handy to keep clean.

They're not a popular wheel, the wheels themselves are quite solid, but the plastic chrome Y pieces discolour and have a nasty habit of falling off.

I had a set of these on one of my cars when I bought it, couldn't wait to get rid of them

£30 is a good price for a set though.

I quite like them and bought a set to replace my original crowns because I wanted to stay with 15 inch wheels. As others have said the plastic 'Y' bits could be problematic and I think preclude conventional methods of refurbishIng. Has anyone had any refurbishing done on these wheels?

Yep, when you consider I had to pay a scrappy £100 for a set of whatever these god awful things are called just to keep our tourer on the road when the wheels were nicked and then had to buy tyres for them

At £30 those wheels worked out at £7.50 a corner - and to be fair, they're a lot nicer to look at than the ones above - well worth having as a spare set.

Rover 75 wheels are a lot harder to come by over here mind you - the replacement shoes had a mortgage of their own by the time they were fitted

Just looked and the seller has ended the listing due to a "listing error".

Bet he's realised he's underpriced them or had put the wrong price in the listing.

7T5 · 30th May 2017, 15:24

These are back on again, starting at £10

Emailed seller but they dont have anything to pack them up so collection only. Gutted would have arranged a courier and had them in a minute.

Just had a look and they're in a bit of a state. Looks like one has been kerbed.
Could do with some tlc
