Default Advice on selling wheels...

Happy Independence Day, guys! I'm about to upgrade my wagon wheels to '00-'04 polished aluminum thin spokes. So I'm selling the wagon wheels plus a set of repo chromed thin spokes which I was going to use but they have some spots where they're peeling. So, anyone have experience whether selling wheels as a set or as individual wheels is more successful? Thanks guys.

You'll find that some here will be interested in just a couple of wheels if they plan to drag race the car, while others will want complete sets. Honestly, there probably aren't too many that will want the wagon wheels other than to use at the track. I would still try to sell them as a complete set if they are in really good shape - someone may want them.

Cool. That is good to know. Although they're WW they are in excellent shape.

I'm told some of the ricer crowd likes them for on certain cars but I have no idea which cars have the same bolt pattern.
