Generally, as Boosts are the standard alloy, they're not worth very much. I picked up a slightly battered set for refurbishment a few months ago for £150 although you sometimes see pristine ones advertised for twice that. The fact that you have one in an odd colour won't help your cause but the cost of having the rest coated may be more than you can sell the set for, unfortunately.
It's a shame as I happen to think they're better looking than most of those costing four or five times as much  Darren

Once again, LRA, you and I agree on things.

Heh, heh, perhaps we'll start a trend

Love your truck Slidey, it inspires me to 'refresh' my 200tdi, which is the same colour Rob

Sold a mint genuine set of 5 today for £325, rims only. Guy who's bought them said they were cheaper than refurbing his which he plans to sell on once they are removed to recover some of the cost

I picked up my set with knackered tyres on for £100 for 5 wheels in very good condition

That's always the conundrum. If you buy wheels to refurb with knackered tyres on then you (typically) have to pay to remove them before you can do anything else. Darren

Cheers for the replies guys, how much do we reckon for a set of satin boosts then? The same?

I'd just like to say that I really like the boost alloys. They look rugged enough for a 4x4 which makes them extremely easy to clean. Just don't know why so many Defender owners want to change them

To be different, because they can and occasionally to fit larger tyres. Darren

I agree. I love them. But don't have them.... In our case, I have a 110, my brother a 130, and the boosts aren't load rated for 130's. Thus my brother has the Terrafirma TF100's. Because we travel together, to keep the vehicles the same so we carry less spares, I swapped to them too so that we technically carry more commonality between us. I also like the way they look. But I still love the boosts. They're still in my shed. Along with half the other bits i've taken off it from standard so that one day when i'm old and grey, if i want to, i can put it back to standard again. I never will. But it makes me feel better  |
