SOLD: Not-so-great-condition 19" Trinity Alloys with Michelin CrossClimates

19" Trinity wheels with Michelin CrossClimate 2's
 

Price: £200
 

Description: If anyone has been following my diary thread, these are the original wheels that have been replaced with 17" aftermarket ones. A set of 19" Trinity alloys from a Skoda Superb 2016 that has done 110k miles, with Michelin CrossClimate 2's that are over half worn.
 

Condition: They almost certainly are original given the state of them. If I was to attempt to sell these up, the wheels don't seem out of round, and the tyres seem ok.

The two biggest issues are that one wheel has a slow air leak, needing to be pumped up again every week or two. A tyre place attempted to find a leak in the tyre but couldn't, so remounted it which worked for a few months. This probably means its due to the corrosion around the rim of the wheel.

The second is one of the bolt holes has damage marks. I genuinely can't remember if this was me, as it could be, I distinctly remember being in a situation where I needed two breaker bars and fire to get one of the wheel bolts loose.

All the wheels have kerbing and corrosion around the rim, with some having bubbling deeper within the wheel. There's corrosion all around the centre caps, and general mankiness rear side and behind the cap. I've tried my best to clean them up, but there's only so much I can do.

Tyres are Michelin CrossClimates, at the OEM 235/40/19 size. In general, it looks like most have inner wear, which probably tells me I should get the car's geometry looked at long term. Perhaps a couple more worn in the inner side than others, but I reckon they're good for 9-12 months.

So the wheels could be used as is, but that would be a bit mad, they should be refurbished, hence what I think is a low asking price.

The wheels are anthracite with a diamond cut finish, so I reckon that would probably be expensive if refurbed to original finish (assuming it can, depends how deep the cutting would be). This site https://fawheels.co.uk/prices suggests diamond cut set of 19" wheels would be £480, so that would be the ball park I guess.

Collection from Rugby (CV23) massively preferred. I could probably deliver them if the distance is reasonable. I'm extremely loathed to want to ship almost 100kg of wheels with tyres!
