WTF Do I do with THESE!?

In the spirit of the "Where to sell a motorcycle" thread...I fig'd I'd ask The Trust.

Why do I have these but am not an Audi S/A5 owner?

The Father-In-Law had a spare S5 hangin' around (not kidding) that he finally had someone make an offer on so he let it go. He purchased this winter set-up for a hair over 3k last winter, my BIL used them for 5 months...now here they sit.

I am tasked with selling them as the FIL made it clear his time is too valuable, cool by me.

But....WHERE? I checked out Audi forums that explicitly say if a "For Sale" is your first post, you'll be deleted/banned.

Are they something for Ebay...I've had horrible luck selling anything on Greg's List...

^^Really. Do people who use Craig's List own Audis!? Just kidding...

It always seems people are looking to score half descent goods at ridiculously low prices on CL, at least here in CT.

These wheels may work great on a VW or two, could quadruple your market.

I buy and sell Porsches on CL all the time. Hell, I sold my Maserati Coupe on there. Wish I had some extra cash and you were closer, if they would fit (no idea) they would look good on my S8.

eBay is your best bet to get a good audience. Offer to it them on a pallet and strap them down if the buyer wants to use a shipper or just tell them to uship. Probably could sell on Craigslist but its really not a great marketplace.

Pallet = freight shipment, not the way to go. Tires mounted on wheels are easy, get some pieces of heavy cardboard and cut them to a circle bigger than the wheel, tape the cardboard on front and back to protect the wheel, done. It's exactly how Tire Rack ships brand new wheels with tires mounted.

Any idea if they would fit a 2013 Toyota Avalon? Just a long shot.
