IanS16 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hey guys, how much do you think i'd get if i took my 4x rays in as scrap metal? Or would i get more ebaying them as damaged?? (2 of them are seriously buckled) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You'd be better off putting them on eBay imo - there may be someone out there needing 2 good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 not sure they are scrap meta value as they are magnesium alloy. Not something a scrap metal merchant would deal in I would of thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Hand Luke Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Make a coffee table out of them or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toffeeman Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Make a coffee table out of them or something Thats a great idea . You would have to have a glass table top though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I would get them on ebay certainly, and advertise them here too. Someone will probably need one or two to replace damaged wheels at some point. I believe they are still £1k each from Nissan, so if you do damage one, it is almost certainly an insurance claim, with whatever excess the policy has.

At £1k each from NMGB it's even worth having them put back into shape! Or contact them and see if they want to buy them back from you....

jonb Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 They'd have to be quite badly wrecked to be worth scrap, you usually just need a good welder to fix them. If you were nearer I'd recommend - http://www.aluminium-welding.co.uk/alloywheelrepairs.html - who is in Welwyn Garden City near to me. Decent welders are fairly scarce and most bog standard guys won't touch alloys, a bit of luck and some searching is probably what you need. You haven't described the damage so it's impossible to say, even if you had it's still a subjective decision, but it's more common for people (or refurb shops) to say they are beyond repair when what they mean is that they don't personally know how to fix them.

Stew Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 My dad uses a buckled Jaguar XJ8 wheel as a weight for my neices trampoline cover! It's pretty good for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
