Default Best Place To Sell Rims?

Trying to part with my OEM 16's. Does anyone know a good place to sell your rims? I don't mind selling them for dirt cheap I would be happy selling them for 75 each i just want to get them off my hands and make a little money.

Perhaps the Wheels/Tires Classifieds sub-forum on Club Lexus?

You might be having a hard time selling your stock wheels due to99% of GS owners w/ after market wheels doing the same. I say if you have the space its always good to hang-on to a second set of wheels (w/ tires) as you might not know when you will need them. I've been holding on to mine over 4 years now...just a thought

Cool

In all honesty, it may be your price of $75 each, too. I know those rims are not cheap, but people who are looking for basic rims aren't going to spend $300 on a set - especially when they can go to Discount tire and buy brand new ones for that. They may not be the best/flashiest, but they'd be new.

I do 2nd the Craigslist idea. That's where I got mine for the DD. GLWS, mang.

Chain them to a tree in you front yard with a for sale sign on them and call it a day. If no buys them you at least have some nice lawn decoration.

But seriously list them on Craigslist.

i too agree that your price is the reason you got no replies. I had my stock 16s in classifieds going for $200 with no interest. Ended up letting them go locally for $150(with decent tires too!).

Do your wheels come with tires? If not, that's why you're not getting any bites.

craiglist should be good for you.

if u done ur hwk, u can probably market your set to fit others to increase bites.
