Dsiposal of Alloy wheels!!

Postby mav_10 » Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:56 am

Hi all,
Due to the previous numpty owner not being able to drive, I have discovered that 3 of my alloys are slightly buckled! This accounts for the vibration through the steering wheel and the permanent massage I get whilst driving!
Net result is a set of Wolfrace which will be going on next week! So anybody got a good method of getting rid of the standard 16" alloys which will also give me some financial return?
Any ideas will be gratefully received.

I believe the standard method is known as selling them. :D

More seriously, you might off load them to someone who is able to repair them, or else a non-ferrous metal dealer will weigh them in for cash.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

I wouldn't sell buckled wheels myself, get them weighed in at a scrap dealer unless you sell them as buckled but then yo uwill get peanuts for them, possibly get more at the scrap yard but at least your conscience will be clear. :(

Thanks Chris
I think that is what I will do, located a couple near me who might buy them.
