Cupra Orion Alloys

[meccano04]

I've got the standard Orion alloys on my Pre-FL cupra (in grey/silver),

One of them has a slight "buckle" (although i hesitate to say that as the wheel loses no air, but it's defo got a slight flat spot on the wheel) and the rest have the usual kerb marks etc...

So i decided i'm going to either replace or repair them, was wondering what you guys opinions are on either;

A. Replace them with 18" FR Andromeda alloys in the same grey/silver color (can get a brand new set with centre caps for £250) and sell the Orions cheap without tyres (maybe get £100 for them i dunno)

B. Refurb the Orions (powder coat most likely)

And if refurb what color - it's an inferi black cupra, i'd thought black to go a bit spinal tap but i'm unsure

"How much more black could this car be...."

"None, none more black"

I would be happy to take the Orions of you without the tyres in the condition they are in. I also have Andromeda alloys but they are in need of a refurb. Anyway i can contact you if you are interested?

Yip I would have an Orion off you too! I am desperate for one but would take the set if needed! Cheers

I'd ping you guys a PM but I haven't hit my 10 posts yet!

I'd love to get rid of the Orions to one of you guys - i had worried they would sit and rot in my garage,

The problem with getting rid of them would be postage costs, but i'm defo for selling...

Orions are better than andromeda anyday.

Buy a new orion (only about 170 iirc) and get the rest refurbed.

 

[WHOZBOSS]

let me know also got a set of andromeda alloys in good condition

You got this ten posts yet? Really needing an Orion! Haha

The Orions are worth more than you think. A straight swap or even a bit of cash your way would be more fair.

In my opinion you should get them refurbed, and buy a new wheel if required. The FR wheels are not as nice.

Orions are shite sell me one or the set!

I agree, they are bloody awful, 50 quid for the set ;-)

That's the combo I have and I like! Mine were gloss black as standard though.

Hmm I think I should get first dips for being awake at that time to post first but meccano04 if you did want to get rid off them to me or do a swap etc I can travel
