    Advice on selling BMW rims.

    Hey guys, I mentioned in another post that I replaced the rims on my E34, but I haven't actually sold them yet. I'm afraid I don't have a clue what their worth. Should I sell them on craigslist, or is there a better place to go? One of the tires has a small gash in the sidewall from getting pinched by the rim, but the other 3 tires are pretty much brand new. Here's a pic of the rims and the treads.

    I can get the tire size if you need, but I didn't see any markings on the rims, so I couldn't say what kind they are or what they were originally worth. I'm afraid I don't know anything about tires or rims, other than when its time to replace them

    Advice on selling BMW rims.

    You should be able to specify the diameter, width and offset of the wheels as well as the aspect ratio and width of the tires

    Here, Craigslist, and FB. fab gets a lot of FS traffic these days.

    well I'm storing them in a neighbors storage unit so I can't just go back out and look right this second, but I did some searching and its apparently VMR. It's either the 17" or the 19" cause those are the only two sizes i saw online. They're selling brand new for +250$ apiece so since mine are old and beat up, you think 120$ apiece is a good price? is there a better place for me to sell them or should I just post on craigslist?

    Sell them as a full set, because if you only sell one then it becomes hard to sell the other three. Tires are in good condition, and judging by the tiny sidewall it's probably 19", I don't think V710s came in 17" either. Usually the offset is on the backside of the wheels, like ET and the number. Unless you know the offset and width it'll be impossible to sell online/ebay.

    Alright I'll have to go back and get that info. What I meant by the pricing was how much each rim is worth. ofc I was planning on selling the full set, I'm just unclear on how much I should charge cause they're a little beat up.

    alright sorry for the double post, but I finally got some more pictures of the rims.

    So what do you guys think? I'm thinking $600-$650 for everything. It's around half of what I've seen rims like this go for but idk about the price of the tires.
