Used alloy wheels in Australia typically sell for A$155 to A$1,150 (about $110 to $810). Alloy wheels sell on fitment, and fitment is four numbers — diameter, width, PCD and offset. Give all four and your listing outperforms every one that says “off a Golf”.

Selling alloy wheels in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Note the diameter, width, offset and stud pattern
- Photograph every face and lip
Getting it ready
- Check each rim for kerb damage, and look carefully for cracks or previous weld repairs, which make a wheel unsafe.
- Clean them properly and note whether tyres are included, and if so their tread depth and age.
Photograph
- All four wheels together, face on, so the buyer sees the condition of the set
- Each area of kerb damage, close up and honest
- The tyres if included, showing tread and the date code on the sidewall
Put in the description
- Diameter and width in inches
- PCD (bolt pattern) and offset, read from the wheel
- Centre bore, and whether centre caps and bolts are included
Size, fitment and quantity: “18in Alloy Wheels 5×112 ET45, Set of 4, with Tyres”. The bolt pattern and offset are what buyers filter on. Naming the car they came from helps, but the numbers are what actually determines whether they will fit.
Steady year round, with a winter lift on smaller-diameter wheels people buy for winter tyres. Popular fitments sell within days; unusual offsets take much longer.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$1,150 a buyer pays is the A$1,150 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell alloy wheels in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Will they fit my car?
Give the four numbers and let the buyer check. Do not confirm fitment for a car you have not tried them on — caliper clearance and arch fouling are not something you can promise remotely.
Are kerbed wheels worth selling?
Yes, at a lower price. Refurbishment is available and many buyers factor it in, but photograph the damage honestly.
Should I include the tyres?
If they have decent tread, yes. It adds value and saves the buyer fitting costs.
