Scrapping a set of alloy wheels - any advice?
I have a set of four damaged Z3 wheels taking up space in my workshop so I've decided it's time to get rid of them.
It was a stupid buy on my part. A last minute spot on donedeal, collected them on a dark, rainy night and didn't give them a proper once over.
I knew that two were damaged but when I looked at them the next day the other two had slight buckles as well.
I thought I would melt them down in the small forge I have but realistically that's never going to happen.
Has anyone dealt with selling their damaged alloys for scrap? Any place that you'd recommend?

At that they need tryes removed, valve and any weights or badges. You wont get rich with what you're paid either.

Try contacting Richie at usedwheels.ie
If they're salvageable he might take them off your hands.

Thanks for the advice lads. I'll try contact Richie and see what he says.
On the Murphy recycling site they list a price of €7 without a tyre or €6 with, which seems fair enough.
I only paid €50 for the four so I mostly just want the space back; If I can get €20 for them then all the better.
Thanks again.

Two of them might be within saving but the other two are quite badly damaged, to the extent that the lip is peeled back over the centre like a yogurt lid.
I also suspect that they might be replicas but I'm not 100%.
Ultimately I would love a square set of 9s, but it's all just a matter of storage space :wink:
