As title says really got some old crap 17s I wuna get rid of

Do I need to get the old tyres off before giving them to scrap man

[Noah]

Stick on eBay. Someone will have them.

You won't get much for alloys any way, purely because, they don't weigh a-lot.

We scrapped a door from a Corsa C a while back and got £2. So I wouldn't expect alot more for a 4 Alloy wheels that probably weigh less!

There are new rules regarding scrap metal; I'm not sure if you can just walk into a scrap yard anymore?
Anyone scrapped anything in the last couple of months?

[minilee94]

Each one of these wheels probs weigh about a door lol a few people on the net are saying is about £8 each and nar these wheel are **** lol big chunks taken out of em etc lol

I took alias of scrap down a good few months ago and was fine scrap men don't give a flying asking as they get what they want

[minidaves]

about £1 a kilo and cut the tyres off, you will need to take photo id and something with your address on

[giner88]

yeah you can still scrap stuff easily just need I.D and stuffs done via cheque so theres a paper trail. least thats what i was told by them. so hardly worth cashing in a cheque for £2 lol

[Noah]

Only scrapped that door about 3 months ago...

Mind you, that was Dagenham. I'm pretty sure they'll take what they're given down there.

We got cash in hand, for all of £2. Did get me a nice Ice cream though.

Its not pure aluminium.

Hence why its called an Alloy wheel. As it's aluminium alloy.
