Three of the wheels are perfect and the other has very minor scuffing on the rim, which is unnoticeable when the tyres are on the car. Wheels and rubber have all done 6000 miles: the front tyres have a tread depth of 5 mm and the rear ones 7 mm.

Three questions then:
1) Where's the best place to sell these? On this site, eBay, or somewhere else?
2) How much should I ask for them?
3) Can anybody recommend a reliable specialist wheel courier?

Thanks in advance...

FYI - other wheel sellers
The wheels sold easily (within 24 hours) on this site's classifieds for £170+carriage. On eBay there were loads of watchers after three days (when I cancelled the sale) but bidding hadn't started.
