tidy looking wheel, and with the advert suggesting maybe not suitable for roads, will probably sell dirt cheap...

not sure i get why though... is it possible that it's not "genuine"

bizarre that.

Maybe display wheels are made from very cheap materials, and are just look alikes?

Should be easy to find out by looking at the details stamped on the inside of the rim.

This info is used for determining how strong the wheel is, material used, what pressure it can withstand etc. Got that from an alloy repair Guru. That's the info he needs to set on his machine for straightening a buckle for example.

Also, if it's made by and stamped by ronal, then it must be suitable for road use. Unless it's cracked etc. Easy enough to get it checked out though.

The MV6 wheels do look nice new and not when they have been kerbed like most of the one's you get on ebay

Its the lacquer peel that lets mine down.

Would love a cheap & easy refurb :(
