17" Standard alloys - trading them in - how much?

[oobster]

Trading my standard 17-inch alloys in tomorrow for a nice shiny set of 18's.

They are the dark silver/anthracite standard wheels (it's an 03-plate WRX).

Tyres are all Bridgestone Potenza RE050 215/45/R17's, all with AT LEAST 5mm of tread on them.

Alloys are in pretty good condition, got the Subaru dealer to refurbish them before I picked the car up. They could do with a good t-cut and polish though.

How much should i expect to get as a trade-in?

Or, if anyone is interested in purchasing these off me (might be ideal as track-day wheels) then drop me an offer via PM

Cheers

Andy,

I've just bought a spare set of 4 with two new tyres, two part worn (Bridgestone Potenzas). Very minor marks but otherwise good.

How much did the dealer offer you for them and how much would you sell them for. How many miles have the wheels/tyres done?

The dealer hasn't offered me anyhting for them yet - i am going down there 2moro morning.

No idea how many miles the tyres have done, but the car has done around 16K miles and i would assume they have been on the car since new? Maybe not though.

[wrxmania]

If they have at least 5mm of tread the tyres MUST have been replaced I would imagine.

What are you expecting for them?

Brian

[oobster]

bout £150 - £200 maybe?

is that realistic?

[wrxmania]

Start a thread here and offer them for say £200 and they should easily sell - I'd buy them but as I say I've just bought some and I am skint, or I'd have some more

Perhaps i'll just wait and see what the alloy wheel dealer offers me the morra
