Used alloy wheels in Vancouver, British Columbia typically sell for C$150 to C$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 Vancouver
Vancouver is the most expensive city in the country and the mildest, which is an unusual combination. Apartments are small and outdoor recreation is available year-round, so compact furniture and outdoor gear are the two things that reliably move.
Housing costs move people frequently and the city attracts a highly mobile international population. Rain is constant enough that where something was stored is always worth asking about.
Ask where the item was kept. The climate is persistently damp, and fabric, foam and particle board all suffer badly in an unventilated garage or storage locker.
Vancouver, in British Columbia, has around 675,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Surrey, Burnaby and Richmond are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Vancouver

Photograph
- All four wheels together, face on, so the buyer sees the condition of the set
- The back of one wheel showing the size, offset and PCD markings
Put in the description
- Diameter and width in inches
- PCD (bolt pattern) and offset, read from the wheel
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell alloy wheels in Vancouver?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Traffic and the bridges determine how long any collection takes, far more than the distance does. Parking in the denser neighbourhoods is difficult, and most apartment buildings require the lift to be booked.
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.
