Frequently asked questions
What details do alloy wheel buyers need?
Diameter, width, offset and stud pattern. Without those a buyer cannot tell whether the wheels will fit their car.
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.
