Best place to sell wheels?

phatboy · 7 Nov 2018 at 14:31

So long story short, boss has bought a 2018 Golf-R, didn't like the standard Spielberg alloys so got them swapped at point of purchase to the Pretorias (spelling)

He now has the wheels without tyres in their boxes to sell and has asked me to help him

What is going to be the best route? never sold wheels before

ebay, gumtree, cash on collection only.

I've sold 2 sets on eBay, cash on collection. It just took a while (although mine were tyres as well as wheels). Places will courier alloys for 50 quid or less (bit sure how good they are though).

Ebay or Gumtree cash on collection as shipping them unless you can use a courier at work gets expensive.

A man with sound taste. Spielbergs are nasty. Pretorias are the only choice for an R!

As above really; ebay, gumtree, etc.

FWIW, I've bought quite a few alloys from reputable German sellers from eBay and not had any issues. Selling I suspect might be another issue..

Wow, just duck&goed the Spielbergs, hideous, like the wheel equivalent of the new Discovery.
Sadly for your boss, that seems to mean that availability exceeds demand.

thanks for the replies all, gives me a good place to start

Agreed they aren't as nice as pretorian's but wouldn't say they are hideous

Owners club forums. But OEM wheels don't usually fetch a lot unless they are rare ones. You might get £2-400 for the set.

I've had good luck on eBay.
