Nice set of Style 294 on Ebay from Germany..worth a punt?

Post by wilwong1971 » Sat Mar 30, 2019 5:17 pm

Hi

After the shock of quotes to refurb my exisiting 294s Split rims I found a brand new set and put in a decent offer, accepted and work out no much more than a refurb on my old wheels.. about to pay but just sanity check with the good folks here...

Question is do I need new TPM sensors etc or most of what I need can be transfered from my old wheels?

I know I could pick another style of wheel, but I do love the split rims and these are very rare (and it's new!)

Also any issues having wheels from Germany compatibilty wise?
