Talking Got 'em, Baby!! Yeeeaaahhhh!!!

First of all, Id like to thank everyone who has supported me throughout this trying ordeal....Im home!!!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MEWN:IT


But hold your applause!!...

Whats the advantage if any, of refurbished wheels over New OEM ones? While I was winning my auction, I got an email from a guy saying there was nice set available at this place near me..However, they were 400 pounds less, but damaged, and then refurbished...Should I feel like crap? The ones I won are OEM, and basically brand new, only done a couple hundred miles...Should I put them back on ebay and get the other ones to save a few hundred quid?!

I dont think so, but I thought you guys would have a more edumacated view on this....

THANK YOU ALL!!!! WOOO HOOOO!!!!

Congrats! I really won't believe you until you post pics on your X5 though!

Stay away from the refurbished wheels. You don't know what damage lurks under the paint.

Cool beans Bozo! The ordeal is over. Definitely keep the OEM first quality set. The money saved is not worth the risk, especially for something you lusted over for so long.
