Expensive even at 100 quid, no? Imagine refurbishing those alloys
I'd think the tyres aren't worth more than £50.
Uploaded the images because they might disappear from ebay soon. If this is not permitted I will remove them forthwith.

The rims look (excuse the pun) a little tired and would "benefit from refurbishment" as many seller's jargon goes.
I've seen these rims go through relists several times now and wonder if the £100 is a bit too much and certainly
others in ebayland agree although to be fair I've recently bought a set of bare 24v rims off ebay myself which
turned out to be a big ragged too and paid £50 so I suppose if the tyres are OK and have life in them it could
be a reasonable purchase. Then again, you see cars finish on ebay with these rims struggling to fetch £200!

Those wheels are being offered by Roy Deardon (XM Gob on here), who is a genuine seller. He's probably basing the price on the tyres being OK, but I'm sure he'd be open to sensible offers.

The tyres, although shiny, don't look so OK to me, but perhaps this is hard to judge from the photos. Providing measurements of the tread depth would be more convincing.
