What to do with steel wheels?

[c11ris]

Random question but I have 10 steel wheels sitting here (7 of which have tyres) and I just want rid of them. No scrap dealers want them cause of the tyres. Anyone any ideas what to do with them or anyone else have the same problem? I don't really want to pay someone to remove tyres just to get rid of old steel wheels.

Gumtree free section. Tinkers will take em.

As above. Tyre stripping and disposal charge will probably negate any scrap profit.

Good shout Ben. Not sure I want them nosing about the house though lol.

Yea gcon that's my problem. But they are making the house look untidy haha.

Do what a lot of dodgy tyre dealers seem to do....dump them at the roadside somewhere !

Say they're off a MK2 Escort and they'll be worth thousands

 

[bigsigh]

If they were involved in an accidental garden fire and the tyres fell off , would the scrap man want them then ?

What stud pattern? People may take them for the rear for a bit of messing about

If you have a four stud ford 14" or 15" one with a tyre I'll take ot

Get them on for sale on here and gumtree. Should get rid of them all fairly easily.

I've a stack for the MX5 but I'm planning on drifting mine to shreds.

Have you any 14's?

What sizes/offsets? People look for steel wheels for winter tires if they can fit something current.

I have 4 15" 5x112 steels with ok tyres pretty much on the limit.
1 13" wheel and 2 14" wheels all 4x100 with scrap tyres
And I have 3 steel wheels off a t5 transporter with no tyres if anyone is interested come and lift them.

let the tyres down and do a burnout. soon rip the rubber off them

 

[Dave..]

Could you not sell them as spare wheels for a trailer?

I'd have taken some but I've 7 sets of wheels already for it ffs

Il take the 4x100s

If the wheels are for a popular-ish model ,stick 'em on Gumtree.
List them as wheels only, but "you can have the tyres for free as a bonus if you can use them" and the I-got-something-for-free gougers will do you a favour.

5x 112 steels should sell
