This is not the best time of year to sell those. Can you wait until Fall and in the meantime put up some posts on that forum? I'm sure you can get a good price as the weather starts to turn.
Maybe you can join the forum just to PM someone or speak with a moderator about what you really want to do. I'm sure many would like to find those wheels. The best thing going for you on CL is that the buyer will be local and pick up with cash. |

I've sold wheels/tires more then a few times. I generally price them for what the wheels are worth and throw in the tires. It would be far cheaper to ship them without the tires but the dismount charge is on you then so its kind of a wash. The first source is calling a local Audi dealership and speak to their parts department and tell them what you have and if any regulars are looking for a set. I actually sold a set to my BMW this way. Worth a phone call.
The second way is Craigslist. It's free and it gets out beyond your city so someone searching will find them. I usually use CL when an items is tough to ship. Of course you will get the dead end calls and deadbeats. The easiest way is to take them to a business you have a relationship with and offer them a few bucks if they sell. I took my last set to my autobody shop and told the owner here's the price and only take cash. No dealing with buyers at my house. The last place would be Ebay. Here you will get your best price if you are patient. If you can work out a shipping charge that doesn't rival the price your selling them, it will pay the best. I usually set an optimum price with a best offer choice and wait until I get what works. |

^^I was wondering about calling dealerships. I'll give that a shot.
