swcortina 38 Posted March 9, 2018 I have 5 rostyle wheels, 3 are half chrome and 2 non chrome, all in need a refurb, 1 of the half chrome wheels has a hole in the edge of the rim so would need repairing, please see links below. Any advice on their value would be much appreciated. https://ibb.co/album/eRoJVa https://ibb.co/album/kQzmGF https://ibb.co/album/iFM0bF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dxcgnoc 3 Posted March 14, 2018 Hi in my opinion not worth a lot in that condition as I dont think anyone now has the equipment to take them apart to restore . There used to be company in midlands who could split the centres from the rims and then rivet back together after rechroming the centres . regards Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swcortina 38 Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for your input, didn't think they'd be worth much and was looking for a lot for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comp 0 Posted April 8, 2018 Ive got a set of four for sale which are in very good condition complete with all new tyres ( never used and purchased about 6 months ago ) . They have perfect chrome embellishes and the correct centres. 1600E type. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure but did think this was still done..I know early Rostyles we're riveted Rim to hub and ideally these are the ones to look for if intending to get rechromed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
