UPDATE!

So in the end I bit the bullet and went for new alloys, some 666M reps in black :-D

I was waiting for a comment on that... :oops: Decided a German flag one was clearly not trying to be OEM so could perhaps pass??

I've now got the 326s off the car and looking to see what I can do with them. I'll do a proper For Sale thread, but I wondered people's thoughts on what is actually worth selling?

I have one rear that has no cracks, and I'm guessing this is probably pretty rare and perhaps worth more than the rest of the set? Fronts seem to be readily available and my other rear does have a single hairline crack as highlighted at the beginning of this thread.

Thoughts/advice? Thanks!

I would sell the good rear separately to the cracked one. Many people will only need one wheel to replace. Then sell the fronts as a pair.
And if you feel so inclined you could easily hide the crack and sell it as a good one (not on here though). :D

Up to you, though.
