Short answer: Wheels that are straight, uncracked, free of deep corrosion and matched in sets for popular vehicles are usually worth more as used wheels than as aluminium, so it pays to check each wheel for damage and fitment before it goes in the scrap bin, and to set aside anything that could be sold on to a customer or through a used-parts channel.

A wheel that is not bent, cracked or heavily corroded may be reusable, so inspect before deciding.
Popular fitments sell
Common sizes and bolt patterns for popular vehicles are easiest to resell, whereas unusual fitments rarely find a buyer.
Do not guess on safety
If you are unsure a wheel is safe, scrap it rather than risk reselling a faulty wheel.
