Im going to pick up a set of 14 inch diamond cut castellets sometime this week. They've recentley been profesioanlly refurbed and come with virtually brand new falcon tyres 195... I'm getting them for £400 is that a good price?

I didn't realise castelletes went for so much.. Last set I seen were in good nick, and went for under £200. They had okish tyres on too.

To be honest, I know this is my own opinion, but there's better wheels out there for £400.

Couldnt agree more Emma, £400 seems steep to me for 14" wheels, falken tyres are very cheap too.

Check out the for sale section on here, some dude is selling freshly refurbed 16" BBS RXII's for £399.00 delivered - Now that's a bargain!

They are nice, but i dont think they are worth £400. if you like that style, I would personally hold out for a set of Porsche D90s im sure for roughly £4-500 you can get a nice set with adapters. But thats my personal choice.
Nice wheels but not worth the price tag!

The wheels do look very nice but they are not worth £400, keep your money mate and wait for a better deal to come along.
In my opinion your better off going for 15 or 16" wheels really on a 6N2, unless you intend to lower it to the ground.

Ben,
