Hi all,

I've been thinking about changing my alloys and could do with some advice. Is there anywhere where they will take your old alloys (18" MV3's) in exchange + money for new ones? Is it best to buy a set first then try and sell the current set or is it best to see if I can work a deal around selling mine first?

How many members here have different alloys to stock? pictures would be great too

You may find someone to take them in, but it'll cost. As they are low value items I'd DIY the sale. I found a new set first, then sold my MV3s on here. Didn't even need to bother with ebay.

OEM MV3s will always find a buyer - quickly too at the right price, price depends on condition and how much rubber is left.

front two need a bit of work - near brand new tyres on front (RF Bridgstones) and back two are soon to be replaced (also Bridgestones) back wheels are fine. How much do you think I might fetch for them?

thanks for the info

Sound identical condition to the ones I sold - I'm guessing the reason you're selling is the same too - you'd rather get new wheels/rubber than pay £750+ for 2 new rear RFT tyres!

I reckon mine were worth around £500 on ebay, but after messing with fees etc. you maybe +10% down on this (i.e. only getting £450) and have the potential faff of wrapping/shipping them too.

Consequently I priced mine at £425 to sell on here and had several people interested - one nice chap on here who came to collect from my home.

>>£750+ for 2 new rear RFT tyres!

Crikey is that how much they cost? I can get a full set of replica MV3s and 4 new tryes (Toyo) for less than that.

Hi, I'll post some pics up as soon as I've got a chance to take some.

Feck I hope my tyres have a bit of wear left in them!

I may have exaggerated slighty - I think I was quoted £750 for 2x 19" RFTs fitted by BMW. 2x18"s are a bit cheaper - £600ish. Still way too much IMO!
