HOW MUCH ARE OLD ALLOY WHEELS WORTH?
Alloy wheel prices depend on a few factors. Firstly, if your wheels have tyres, the value is considerably lower. This is because the buyer will need to remove the tyres themselves and pay to dispose them responsibly.
Secondly, the weight. Larger wheels doesn’t always mean they are heavier than smaller ones.
Thirdly, if you’ll deliver or need collection. You’ll normally be paid more if you deliver your alloy wheels (click to compare)
WHO CAN SCRAP ALLOY WHEELS?
Everyone. If you have a set of old rims you don’t want anymore and feel like cashing in, we’ll try and get you the best rates. Mechanics and accident repair garages can often acquire damaged alloys which they can sell. Mobile scrap collectors and scrap dealers can also use our price finder to locate the best rates for re-sale. Car breakers can benefit significantly because of the quantities of wheels they produce (click to compare)

ARE ALLOY WHEELS MAGNETIC?
No. Alloy wheels are not magnetic. Alloys are classed as Non Ferrous Metal. If a magnet sticks to your wheels, they are most likely steel and not aluminium (click to compare)
“CLEAN” ALLOYS ARE MORE VALUABLE
Don’t worry. This doesn’t mean you need to start scrubbing your used wheels. “Clean” alloys means that there are NO TYRES. Many scrapyards will also ask for valves & balancing weights to be removed. However, not all buyers. “Dirty” alloy wheels contain these “contaminants” so are less desirable, which adversely affects the value (click to compare)

DELIVERING SCRAP ALLOY WHEELS
If you have a small quantity of Scrap Alloy Wheels, many buyers won’t collect due to the cost of fuel, time & manpower involved. Your best bet would be to deliver your goods to a licenced site. You’ll most often be paid a higher rate too. Your alloys will often be weighed in front of you so you can see the weight for yourself.
But if collection is required, we do have members who can help you too (click to compare)
