Came across these and thought I would post these up incase anyone was after a set. Obviously not the OEM finish, but very well priced for such a set.

 
One of them has definitely been repaired/machined. 2nd picture, the bottom of the spoke at 7/8 o'clock has lost the lip around the lower end of the recess

Unfortunately the intricacies of this design are really unforgiving on any interventions.

Nope, never has been. Excess powder coating, poor light when taking pictures and compressed image quality of eBay are to blame.

I happen to know the wheels and the seller very well ;)
 
That's quite some refurb then, to get that much powder coat on. I hope no goods or services were exchanged for it!

At least it's more easily recoverable than over-machining.
