Hi everyone, i posted this thread on here on the 19th of October regarding some wheels and tyres... "My dads mate bought a brand new WRX in august, he had some flash new wheels put on at the subaru garage so he now has the original ones with Yokahama 205/17 tyres on that have never been driven. My question is how much would these be worth and where would be the best place to advertise them.." I had one reply which although was of some help did not fully answer my question. The answer was Ebay. So for anyone that might be interested they will be on Ebay monday morning with a starting price of £400. My knowledge is very limited on cars so i don't know if i'm charging way to much or someone is gonna get a bargain..

This is worthless without a link to the original thread or pics/prices of the wheels in question

Try Pistonheads too, had some success selling items on there

Get some pictures taken then post the ad in the 'for sale' section on here, it's cheaper than ebay.

You can't expect people to give you a price on some thing they can't even see.

You first need to host the pics in photobucket then copy and paste the 'img' code to your post.

If i was you, i would put the pics on this thread first, just so you can get a idea of what they are worth as you must put a price on them when you advertise them, i don't think you are allowed to just put 'offers'. Hth.

I wouldn't dare suggest that you'd be lucky to get £250 for them...

IMHO.

P.S. Everybody will ask if they clear Brembo brakes, have your answer ready too !

it's not the diameter you need to worry about it's the offset. certain 17" alloys do not work with the subaru brembo brakes.
