Yes! Paid £225 for 5 a couple of years ago. Looked in good nick generally, in the pics, but were flakey round the rim where the tyre seals, so cost a further £150 to get blasted & powder coated. Best be fresh out of the box for £500!!

Yup...a bit OTT...I would say £300 to £375 with a good set of tyres, £225 to £250 if the tyres are borderline....that's for 4..add £50 to £70 for the 5th.
Much depends on condition (wheel & tyre) but at £400 they would need to be mint with nearly new 205/70 14 van rated tyres.

If you have some decent steelies and original trims then this is a bargain:

Cheers for all your feedback. They are mint, reconditioned with firestone load rated tyres but I still thought 500 was a lot.
