Genuine advice needed from corsa b enthusiasts

Post by HulkysMom »

Hi

First time forum user. My first car was a corsa b, it was a 1.2 merit in the lovely shade of green which reminds some people of school fences and I named it hulky.... it was a bit of a beast you see. Unfortunately hulky is no longer with us as from many years of general abuse and death he was no longer repairable. However his legacy lives on in the form of five standard alloy wheels which I am now looking to sell. I would like to know if anyone thinks they would be worth refurbing first for a sale of around £65 primed with no profit made, or if they would sell better as they are? (£40) They have seen better days and I have considered scrapping them (for £40), but I would like hulky to live on again... they are 14" standard corsa b alloys. Please let me know your thoughts. Anyone who would paint them Hulky Green with the centre caps left original silver will get priority of sale (Hulky would have wanted it that way!!)

Thanks
