Later model wheels very rarely 'work' on older model cars ...

Those don't look too bad though as they are a fairly classic style.

How much did you pay for them ?

Well , a refurb is gonna set you back £150 , and four new tyres are gonna cost you approx £250 , so you have a £400 outlay before you even start .

On that basis , if they were more than £100 for the four , they were expensive.
