Would you sell the rims only? (Don't need the tires) And if so, how much shipped to 20011? Let me know. Thanks!

ok Thanks anyway.

20 years ago, rims used to be $400 each from the dealer and IF you could find them in a junkyard, $300 for a set.
Whatever it costs whoever to dismount and ship...Just saying, $150 for four rims alone would be DIRT CHEAP and worth whatever else it costs to get the rest done. Probably cheaper to pay for dismounting then box 'em up to ship, even if a UPS store does the shipping and charges for the boxing.
Clean wheels? Just not easy to find!

In Puerto Rico a set without tires still sells for $400-$500.

Yeah. If I needed a set today and didn't want to screw around for a year waiting for some cleanout?
Pay the price. Pay the $50-75 to have the tires unmounted and trashed. Pay the man for an hour of time and some palet wrap or saran wrap to wrap 'em up, or for someone to box them ($10 for a box, more for a shipping store dropoff) and just DO IT.
There's cheap and there's cheap, but wheels for a GT-S were never easy to find.
Ain't that unreasonable to just ante up and be done with it.

While you're worrying about scammers, take note that the latest craigslist scam is from folks who pick things up and pay in cash. Except, they're using counterfeit hundreds.

Re: pizza cutters with tires 91770 socal
It's 20$ at most places to dismount tires and it'll probably be 80-90$ to ship them.. I know because I just did the exact same thing, but with a set of 17x9. Packed 2 wheels in each box. 18x18x24 weighed 50 lbs and was 52$ a box shipped from myrtle beach to California.. It only took me like 1.5 hours from start to finish, of you really needed them gone , you would ship em, it's not that hard

UPS will require them to be boxed. Greyhound (the bus company) and Fedex Ground (not to be confused with the real Fedex) will both take mounted tires as long as they are wrapped in palet wrap or heay saran wrap, with a cardboard sheet on one side for the label and all. Should take the plain wheels the same way, although I'd wrap some cardboard around the outside to make sure the rim edges don't get dinged.
Either way, it is easily done. And if you open an ebay/paypal account or have an online account, most of them discount slightly.
Still, that takes time, probably an hour to get them unmounted, an hour to pack 'em, an hour to label 'em and find a scale to weigh 'em...I can see not wanting to spend 2-3 hours of unpaid time, at that point it is easier to just put them out in the trash.
Maybe in SoCal there are enough local bidders for someone to pick them up. Getting someone to PAY for the three hours of time in order to unmount them and ship them, that's not so easy, everyone wants cheap. Sometimes, putting things out in the trash really is the answer. Or the scrapyard, if those wheels are aluminum alloy, they might be worth $20 each as scrap metal. Which would barely break even on the cost of "we don't take tires, just metal".

Re: pizza cutters with tires 91770 socal
I have had wheels and tires shipped from Discount tire before. no boxes, they just put vinyl over the wheel face then round cardboard disks to cover the face and back of the wheel, held together with yellow bands. easy peasy. I had rims and tires sent all the way from japan, pretty much the same way.

Re: pizza cutters with tires 91770 socal
Yup. UPS says they won't ship anything unless it is in a brown cardboard shipping box. USPS pretty much the same.
Fedex Ground was a pleasant surprise. Although, they are the old RPS Roadway Package Service and in some ways, still the dumbest box of rocks in the business.
UPS may be more liberal with commercial accounts, too. Apparently "UPS" and "Fedex" each have different internal companies, different rules, for "Freight" service vs home service vs other service.
