I am considering buying 2 new wheels for my FRP. I have been perusing PumaBuild and note for the Racing Puma they have refurbished wheels at circa £90, and new at £170. If anyone has purchased refurbished wheels how good are they? Would you recommend refurb over the new ones? The front wheels on my FRP have not been looked after and I want to replace them. Any advice / views most gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation.

The people I have known who have bought Pumabuild refurbished wheels have been disappointed with their short-lasting finish.

Go to a quality refurb outfit (eg Lepsons) and I'm betting they can make your front wheels like new.
