What would you do in my situation?
I had a set of 20" m5 replica wheels running on some delinde d7 tires until the back rear wheel cracked. The price of fixing/replacing just was not worth it as the value of the wheels are basically nil.
My question to the community is what would you do in my situation if you wanted to recoup as much money back from the wheels/rims as possible? I will need to take the wheel/tires apart to get my tpms swapped over, so I can leave the tires off the wheel or I can put the tires back on. 3 of the rims have road rash. I'd say maybe medium rash. 1 of the rims has a huge dent from hitting a pothole and then has a crack along the lip. This one does not hold air well. The tires all have ~15k miles on them and have plenty of tread left. What should I do? Should I try to sell the rims and tires separately on craigslist? is that the best place to list this stuff? should I just go to my local used tire shop and sell them the tires? Any help is appreciated! |

I would throw both the wheels and tires in the garbage; Get a set of proper tires to stick on a new set of wheels.
No idea why people cheap out on tires on a sport-ish car.

From your description, I would say there is little value in the wheels or the tires. I doubt you would get much for them, but, of course, you can try. I cannot value them without seeing them. So, over to you.

To be honest I don't think anyone will buy the rims since they're damage and someone would have to put money into them to fix the rim leaking air due to the pothole.
Best shot it selling the tires separately but used tires don't hold a very good value |
