Testing the waters. ATS Planets 16x7 with 205/45 16's

[RoadsterTech]

So I'm testing the waters...
Anyone interested in going old school with a set of ATS Planets?

They have 205/45 16 S-Drives on them with more than 50% tread left on them..

These are in excellent physical shape, except for one ding on top of the rim of one wheel (thanks to a heavy handed tire installer). The paint finish though is starting to come off. So, it's time to refinish them.

I had planed on refinishing these prior to sale, but things are getting busy. So here we go.
Wheels and tires with out refinishing: $500.00

Wheels and tires if I refinish them $650.00

Edit>>> $550.00 if I polish the outside rim of the Wheels... see posting below.

I will post pictures of the ding and close ups of the finish later.

Another one from a bit different angle:

Now for the bad stuff, here is the ding the tire guy put on the wheel:

Here are the reasons I thought they needed to be refinished:

You may have noticed that one wheel looked a bit better than the others...
I did a bit of polishing on the rim, removing the paint on the rim bead and the clear coat from the polished area.

I think it looks striking, so I revamp my original thoughts. While refinishing will make them look fantastic just polishing them up will make them very nice to run on your car.

So I have added a third price, $550.00 if I polish them like the one shown here.
