Alloy wheel scrap value

[twiglet]

Has anybody weighed in any alloy wheels recently?

Just trying to gauge what people are getting in scrap value...  my local scrappy is paying £5 each with tyres, £7 each without.

I was getting 8 quid (without) before christmas.

I'd shop around

If you knock out the steel ferrels where the wheel nuts go they fetch more as pure ally

I got £38 for four MFL Elite 16" alloys £1 per kg at a scrap metal yard rather than a car scrap yard. That was about a month/6 weeks ago

That's exactly what I've got to get rid of Andy.  I've got a contact at a metal recyclers that buys my cats, so worth a go.

Did you also have to knock the ferrels out?  How does one go about this?

I never gave them a thought, just put the rims on his weigh scales, he never said anything about them. The only thing he did commented on, was I should've removed the balance weights. Ooops!

Get your Mate to chuck the alloys in the bailing machine, you don't need to worry about 'ferrels', balancing weight or tyres then.

Hmm. I've got a (rather bent) alloy in the garage.
