I saw a white S2 on Rondells today in MK strangely enough I remember turning round to the wife and saying 'look another bean tin on Rondys'
Swap them and if you get bored sell them as they are worth more than your current wheels anyway

probably about Ł750-Ł1000 depending on tyres and condition, make sure they are round and crack free rs nuts, they are soft wheels and they dont like being kerbed or pot-holed
I'm personally a big fan of rondells, so as spadge says, get em, if you dont like them sell them on for a profit and buy yourself some more comps

Ł600 robbed yourself spadge , saying that, I got lucky with mine, I got one set for Ł700 that are immaculate, never been refurbed, all centre caps etc,,mint tyres , which was a bargin, then I got 3 off ebay with good tyres for Ł425, and a blast in a lotus carlton when I picked them up, then got the 4th one off a lad on here for Ł150 , so I got 2 sets of good ronnies for Ł1275

Anything is better than Comps Ian, but remember the Rondells will bend soon as you hit a pot hole

But a lovely wheel none the less & like Dave & Spadge said, there worth a few quid if you want to sell them
