Pricing

[Daylindafung]

I am looking to sell my stock mazda 3 2012 skyactiv rims and tires. But I am not sure what is a good price to sell it. It has one curb rash and plasti dip black. The tires have 1.5 years on it (20,000km). still in great condition.

Tires are Bridgestone Turanza P205/55 R16
Rim Diameter: 16"
Rim Material: Alloy
Number of Bolts: 5

Don't sell your wheels, unless you're 100% sure you'll never sell or trade in the car. It's ALWAYS beneficial to have stock parts around for when you need them.

+1 or use them as winter rims like I did. Way better than steelies.

my 2014 GT 18" rims with rubber (about 20,000kms) only fetched $700. same curb rash on one wheel, no plastidip.

You'll probably looking at only $500 or so.

While I agree with the idea of holding onto the stock parts, I don't feel that wheels qualify for these cars.

OEM and steel rims for Mazda 3's LITTER Kijiji and other places so I doubt you'll ever have a problem replacing them.

You could hang on to them, but in 5 years the tires may begin to crack and dry out and then that'll be lost profit.

In Ottawa, those would probably sell for $400-500.

If you do sell the car or trade it on, buy a new set of wheels on Kijiji if you don't want to include the ones you have on it at the time.

Just my 2 cents.

I wonder why you'd think that. Ime steel is always better than an alloy for winter. Winter run alloys always develop slow leaks it seems.

[ottoyu34]

I run my stock 17" alloys for winter, plastidipped.

I say $600-700.

[Kiewan]

Any specific reason for selling?

I would Use them as winters if you currently use steelies. Sell the steelies and snows, invest in snows for the alloys instead.

I've never heard of that, I'd wonder why the material of the wheel would lead to slow leaks.

Anyway, not going to endlessly debate about keeping stock wheels. Just my opinion. When I sell a car the thing I hate most is being held up by finding appropriate stock-ish parts.

Alloy wheels will tend to build up corrosion on the 'bead' section of the rim, due to moisture...This can lead to slow leaks. Steel rims are far less prone to this. But that said if the alloy wheel is prepared properly before/during tire instalment there should be no issues for years.

i sold mine for $450 with stock Yokohama tires 6-7/32 thread few days ago to a member mint condition dipped black. And now im hearing they go for $600 :(

[Captain Mazda]

Don't feel bad, at least they went to a good cause :P

[Daylindafung]

I have 3 sets of rims atm.... lol one summer, winter, and these oem ones. i have steelies for winter already and i honestly don't care what my car looks like in the winter... so I'm just looking to get some cash for it.

This. I run/own a small fleet of light/med duty trucks and alloys always seem to need a top up occasionally. I find it annoying.

unless you are desperate for cash, i would keep them in case you want to sell your car. But you can prob selling them for ~$500. i recently sold my 2010 OEM steelies for $300 with all season thread life was 7/32
