[B]That sounds somewhat right. I sent LA renn a message saying I'd go 1500 on the smaller ones and go higher if need be and there was time. No reply, so they are apparently worth more than the 1500+ that I could have spent.

Actually the smaller ones are probably worth more as there are fewer of those around that were produced to fit under the Carrera/SC flare. The larger 9 & 10s for widebody cars are more plentiful as that's where the money was for Ruf during the 80's and 90's when these wheels were really hot. In essence, there are more of the "big ones" around and they in my opinion are worth a bit less.

Oh, and did we mention the weight? Ruf wheels are quite heavy in case no one noticed!

As far as refinishing, the orignal wheels did not nhave a polished lip. They had either whart is called a "machine finish" or "diamond cut" lip. Both finishes are very hard to reproduce and thus the polished lip has become acceptable.
