The Range Rover I bought recently came with some alloys that as soon as I pressure washed them for the first time started to loose their finish. The are the standard 18" hurricane alloys, but obviously the previous owner had simply had them sprayed silver instead of a proper refurb.

I looked at refurbing them but at the cost of doing it, it's only about a tenner more per wheel to buy new so that's what I've done. This leaves me with 5 alloys that nobody will probably want to buy, so hence the question - does anyone know scrap value of 5x 18" alloys?

Thanks

Steve

Was getting around £13 each last year for vogues. I guess an 18" hurricane should be a bit more. Think the price of scrap has gone up bit since then too.

My local LR breakers mentioned £60 for 4 when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

yep the price of ali has gone through the roof, even more so than steel.

4 RRC 3 spokes got me 50quid,

ive bought 5 more off ebay for 20quid delivered, :D

at my local scrappy, theres a mountain of RRC alloys all in perfect condition.

I was at the scrappys yesterday asking this same question. Alloy wheel with NO tyre gets you 90p/kg. This was in Warminster

Took aload of alli up the scrappies the other day, Ali priced at £600 a ton. Ring around for best price as scrap prices are extortionate at the moment & may get a better deal by shopping round.

Thats shocking, means you'd only get a couple a quid a wheel - i've been told round here to expect 10-15 a wheel

looks like youve been done....

Thanks for the info everyone. I've got a metal scrap merchants five minutes down the road, so I'll see what they offer.

I'll see what I get for the front cat I took off the 90 too. They'll probably think I've nicked them!

Thanks

Steve

Cast aluminium will get you more than rolled so you should get more than the standard 80-90p / kg

Steve, let us know how you got on at the scrappys when you go down there.

I've got about a dozen old disco / RR alloys - phoned the local scrappy and was told 70p a KG. I'm on the IOW and he's the only scrap yard...............

Lee

Thats cause he knows you canny go anywhere else local

Antone know what scrap steel is fetching (4inch pipe / some angle iron / steel wall bractets etc) before i phone around and get some quotes tomorrow??

Dougie

Will do

Around me, it had got upto around £260 a ton for clean farm scrap

but it has recently dropped to £220ish

depends how clean yours is gets you a much better price that a rotten old bailer

Didn't say I got that price. I only enquired as to what the price was for when I do go there with bits and bobs

hi does any one know the weight of an 3 spoke vogue alloy im just weighing up. whether its worth trying to advertise them or weigh them in cheers jason

hmmm i wonder if i should be weighing in the 4x 6ft farm rollers that are buried in a hedge where i work. Though i doubt the BX would cope with the weight and the landy isnt road legal

i got £10.98 each for vogue alloys, (£950 a ton for wheels....) £750 a ton for sheel alloy, and £1800 a ton for brass/copper rads, which paid 12.60 for the fins out of a scrap disco rad!!! i think for steel i can get £120 for mild + £160 for heavy...
