The two with tyres are in a lovely condition but as you can see from the pics the five with out are in desperate need of some love and attention

What are their dimensions? Better not make them much bigger than standard mk3 golf, unless you want to calibrate the speedometer :)

They will have scrap value if nothing else or try ebay

I would have thought you could get around £50 scrap value for 7 wheels.

You would be surprised how much you can sell wheels for on ebay if the right person sees the auction.

I sold a set of 4 completely knackered "Sport Raders" (lol) 13" alloys for £35 not too long ago

Saw Mk3 GTI wheels go for £150 the other day!

I'm gonna try my luck if I get £40 I'll be happy as scrap for £9.36 a wheel.
