Used alloy wheels in Adelaide typically sell for A$155 to A$1,150 (about $110 to $810). Wheels sell as sets, and the fitment details decide whether a buyer can use them at all.
Selling alloy wheels in Adelaide
Adelaide is compact, affordable and easy to drive around, which makes it unusually good for buying anything large second hand. It is surrounded by wine country and has a strong festival culture, and its slower housing turnover means the furniture that does come up tends to be older and better made.
Households turn over more slowly than in Sydney or Melbourne because more people own rather than rent. That means less volume, but what appears is more often a genuine downsize or a deceased estate rather than a share-house clear-out.
On older furniture, check the joints and any veneer rather than the surface. A good deal of what appears here is genuinely old and well made, and those are the two places age actually shows.
Adelaide, in South Australia, has around 1.4 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Mount Gambier, Whyalla and Sydney are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct.

Are any of them buckled or cracked?
Say plainly, and if a wheel has been welded, disclose it. A cracked or repaired alloy is a safety matter at speed, not a cosmetic discount.
