After seven years of ownership am thinking of selling. However, living in London wheels need a refurb. Should I have them done or not bother? Also had tyre pressure sensors removed several years ago, is it worth buying new ones and having them put in?
Thoughts would be appreciated. It is a great car and have enjoyed my time with it, but now need something smaller (RS3 perhaps).

It is a difficult one. The new owner might want them in a different colour to what you have them done in, but kerbed alloys can put potential buyers off. Do you have black or silver optics?

I think I'd do it, as chunky says kerbed alloys can put people off. If you have them done in the colour they already are then any potential buyer can have them redone if and when they want but I don't think the colour would be a deal breaker for a sale whereas rotten ones might

Thanks for the advice and will do it. They are in silver, but this really shows up the brake dust so was thinking of titanium colour. What about the tyre pressure sensors should I buy some new ones and put them on?
Thanks

I would get both done would show a buyer you have looked after the car.
