Old wheels: sell or scrap?

[scot850]

Well now you know even from here that there is a interest in the rims. You got the rims for nothing and were going to scrap them so anything over $0 is a bonus. It depends on a) how irritating they are having them taking up space b) what you want for them. There is a MVS member already shown an interest, so why not PM him and see if you can come to a price you are both happy with. Otherwise go on whatever sales site you guys use in your area (Craigslist/Kijiji/whatever) and see what others are selling rims for and make a guess from there.

Otherwise you can do as others have done and pay them forward for good karma to an enthusiast or for a low $ number.

You can get them from tire rack for $60 new, anytime, and 45 if you are patient, so that’s a new price anchor

Can someone explain how to read the marks on these wheels just so I know what I have and how to list them properly?

[scot850]

The details are based on the the 3 numbers in the bottom right picture of the details picture;

6J x 15 x 43.

6J + 6" wide
15 = 15" diameter tires fit these
43 = 43mm offset which is the standard for 850 and V/S/C 70 up to 2000 model year. These can be used on some models later than 2000, but if you give these details, it is up to the buyer to figure out if they fit your car.

Only number that is not shown, but as these were used on a V70 T5 these had a lug bolt/stud pitch of 5 x 108mm.

Don't have access to my Volvo database to see which of the 2 7 digit numbers is a valid Volvo part number but suspect the one starting with the 6XXXXXX is the correct one, but again don't worry about that. You have given the numbers in your pictures for folks to figure out from.

Hope that helps.
