quick question really, is there anywhere where you can trade in your old alloys for a set of new ones? was thinking of trading in the ones from my saxo (15"s) for a set of 17s for the new car. They cost me £600 new with the tyres (baring in mind they were decent tyres, uniroyal rain) there is one slight curb on the passenger side rim and one slight buckle on the driver side rim which could be repaired.
just want to know what ya reckon i would get for them in trade for a new set if anywhere does tradeins as more than likely i will be selling my saxo standard.

i think WheelsRUs trade in as well, dependant on condition of wheels and what your buying etc.

they are down near Sandy row.

yeh seen them ,il try my locals first (streetracer and karmania) as ive spoken to the dudes in there and they are sound and if not il try wheelsrus or that one in ballymena. plus 3 stud saxo alloys are highly sought after as they dont do much variety in them, these were the only style i could find that i thought looked good.

As people have said, only places that will trade-in are Wheels 'R' Us and Motorsport and Spares.

like im late
i'd be interested in trading in my 18s - i'm looking for a set of 19s for the golf... how much do you reckon my 18" RS4's are worth? good tyres, minor scrapes on the alloys themselves?
