I have two alloy wheels left over from breaking a pug 306 a few years ago, both are heavly curbed (car came of the road, up a curb).
And basicaly im having a garage clearout and wondering what to do with them.
- A, sell them on ebay as curbed but repairable.
- B, try and weigh them in for scrap value at the local metal/car scrapy.
- C, try and wangle them into the local domestic tip, which have been known to charge me for tyre disposal at £10 a tyre.
So firstly, are these two wheels repairable (other than the one photographed dint they appear mint)

And secondly, if not, are they worth anything as scrap?

Scrap alloys were worth 5-6 quid each last year, scrap has dropped in price, but they'll be worth something
Alloy wheels are currently £160 per ton at my local metal yard
So as scrap, there worth very little!
Would i have any success trying to flog them as repairable on ebay? And given the impact/damage they have sustained, would this be a sensable thing to
do? (visions of bodged repairs with chemical metal failing causing accedents)

I'd weigh them in - they could be repaired but realistically no one would bother unless they're particularly rare.
FWIW, weigh them in even if it's only a few quid, at least it frees up some space.
