SL60 AMG Genuine Alloys


I have a set of genuine SL60 alloys. I am considering selling having been quoted silly amounts of money to have properly refinished.
The wheels have been done a few times over the years and would now benefit from being properly restored. I worry about
how easily the bolts will free off and release.

Anyone with any advice on the options below or with other points I should consider.

- Sell them as is, what's the worth as is? Difficult to gauge a value on them?
- Bite the bullet, pay the big money and get them restored properly, if so what is the value of them, is the juice going to be
worth the squeeze?
- Do nothing, stick them aside and keep for a rainy day?

Needless to say the image above is the alloys I have that looked like that about 10 years ago.

Beautiful wheels by the way and collector’s item already.

Have them refinished by the best possible standards and keep them.
