Just a few quick notes on moving them.
- Clean them up good and take some good quality pictures. One or two of the wheels, one of the tire tread, maybe one of the bad tire tread. The more pictures, the less questions you’ll have to answer. It also pre-qualifies the buyers by weeding out those who ‘don’t like’ the wheels you’re selling. Pictures sell!
- 20″ rims are kinda special in that not everyone wants them. Although if you go to buy a new set be prepared to pay big bucks. I’ve seen a set of 4 used custom 20×9″ rims go anywhere from $250-$500. Really depends on the rim, what it fits, and who’s looking.
- In their current condition the tires aren’t really going to increase the price of the set (rims & tires) although I wouldn’t split them up as the tires might help sell the set.
- Try to put as much of the specific details in the ad.
- wheel brand (a lot of the time this is on the center cap, or cast into the back of the wheel)
- wheel model (sometimes this takes more digging to find, look on the manufacturer’s website, or on a distributors website)
- wheel size (this should be cast into the back of the wheel also)
- wheel backspacing or offset (sometimes this is cast into the back of the wheel)
- wheel bolt pattern (if you know what vehicle they were on you should be able to find the bolt pattern, look on tire rack or call the auto dealership)
- tire brand (molded into the sidewall)
- tire model (also molded into the sidewall)
- tire size (molded into the sidewall)
- tire tread depth (you can get a tread depth gauge at any auto parts store for about $5)
Feel free to post them on www.180parts.com. Wheels and tires if priced right tend to move quickly.
