Just my opinion, but I can't understand people who don't look after / care about their alloys, even more so on a sports oriented car. If you had a scratch or dent on the bodywork it would be exactly the same. Personally I would not buy a second hand car with a kerbed alloy or without the dealer repairing it first.

Mint alloys makes a huge difference to the look of a car.
