what's going on guys I'm finally able to
record videos in my garage again the
weather is finally nice now in Canada
man it's been cold for so long but
besides that I have something special
for you guys I just got these Honda
Civic rims and tires I don't know
exactly the condition of each and every
one but I did get them from a friend for
free honestly I'm lucky that uh you know
she reached out to me so I thank her for
that but basically my goal in this video
is to show you guys that if you have
rims and tires like this laying around
or if you're selling your car and you
want to sell you know a set of rims and
tires I'll teach you guys every single
information that you need to know in
order to sell these for the best
possible price that you can get and also
just so that you know if someone asks a
question like what's the offset or
whatever you'll be able to get that
information from just watching this
video so without further ado let's get
straight into this I'm gonna take you
guys through this whole process but you
can use this to sell really anything and
the first step is evaluate what you have
that's pretty self-explanatory
you're not gonna know the value of what
you have if you don't even understand it
so I'm gonna need to open these up out
of the bags look at them properly check
the tires and the rims and get an idea
of what I am dealing with alright guys I
hope you enjoy the music while I drop
some very important information for you
guys you're gonna need to know all this
stuff when you post your ad for whatever
you're selling the first thing we got to
do is a visual inspection and for that
you got to look at everything carefully
because you are figuring out condition
condition is very important it gives you
a lot of information to give to people
who can then feel safer to buy what you
have we're gonna look at the rims first
and yeah there is a few scratches
you know nothing crazy if there is like
a huge gouge or chunks of the rim
missing you're not gonna be able to sell
it because then you're gonna have
problems balancing the wheels but look
at both sides you see like the rim seat
area everywhere you want to make sure
that it is good and I checked all four
rims everything is good just a little
bit of scratches that's perfectly fine
now we're gonna go on and look at the
tires okay so the sidewall is this area
right here you want to
sure there's no damage you cannot repair
sidewall damage so that means if
anything happens any tears any leaks any
bulges in the sidewall you cannot repair
this tire it is garbage throw it out and
you can't sell this this stuff I mean if
you do you're an it's not safe
the sidewalls here they're fine they're
good on both sides that's perfectly fine
now that we're still looking at the
sidewall there's a lot of information
here and this is where you're gonna have
to start jotting down stuff for your ad
so be ready for that because we're gonna
look and we're gonna find the tire size
so here you see p20 5 / 55 are 16 space
89 H this is your hole tire size and if
you don't understand these numbers and
you want to figure out what they all
mean I did make a video on this I'll
make a link in the description about
that and you can go check that out
basically write this down you need to
know this and next on the sidewall is
something called the d-o-t people will
sometimes ask you what is the d-o-t on
your tires right now all that means is
was the age of the tire when you see the
d-o-t there's a number that comes at the
end of it and as you can see the number
on our tire here is 32 14 this is
written now as the week it was made and
the year was made so this tire was made
on the thirty second week of 2014 that's
it that's how simple it is to figure out
how old your tire is and right now it's
2020 and so the tire that we have here
is roughly six years old which is good
we can sell a if you guys don't know
this the rule of thumb is you don't want
to buy or sell tires that are older than
seven years because rubber gets brittle
and weak and it will fail it might even
come apart so that's why for safety
reasons just buy or sell tires that are
not older than seven years and so with
that information we're gonna jot that
down as well the d-o-t is 32:14 write
that down and next we are gonna get more
information from the sidewall we're
gonna figure out what kind of tire this
is people care about the brand and image
all that stuff this right here is a hand
cooked tire Hancock whatever you want to
call it and you're also gonna need to
know what make it is so we're gonna go
over and see that is an
tamo H four to six so now you got the
information to tell people if you want
to your research here's the make and
model
go ahead go online some people like to
see reviews on tires it's a more secure
way of buying stuff so they know that
it's good
this right here is very important to
know and I'm gonna jot this down as well
this next part is optional but it helps
a lot some people have tire sensors
installed on their wheels because their
car uses a TPMS system and it's direct
so it measures the tires pressures
directly from the wheel which means that
they use sensors inside the wheels here
you see we have a conventional rubber
style valve but if your wheels do have
tire sensors on them it is good to take
pictures of that and also jot that down
and write it in your ad listing so
people do see that you have sensors
because they're not cheap but that does
increase the value of your wheels and by
the way I did make a video on that so if
you want to get slapped with some
knowledge on some TPMS systems then go
ahead and watch that video I'll leave a
link in the description I know I promote
myself a lot whatever but that's how we
got to do it if you want to hit the
subscribe button anytime you feel
comfortable go ahead and do that how to
pull that stuff out there I'm trying to
hit a thousand subs anyways let's
continue with this video so one common
question people are gonna ask is what is
the life of the tires or how much tread
is left on the tire the only way to
figure this out accurately is to use a
tire tread depth gauge it's a very cheap
tool and I recommend every person when a
car to have one because tires are safety
devices and I will leave a link to the
description below so these tires did end
up measuring about four thirty seconds
of an inch which is pretty low but you
can still drive on these tires but I'm
just trying to sell them as is for
thirty seconds of an inch that is a tire
tread desk I'm gonna jot that down so
next up we got to know the rim size we
have the tire size but we need to know
the rim size as well I'm gonna flip this
rim over and look at the back and
usually there is a size stamped on to
the rim here it is sixteen by six and a
half J 45 and again if you guys will
understand these numbers I did make a
video breaking down rim measurements and
sizes I'll leave a link for that in the
description below so check it out if you
don't understand these these numbers
right here but basically 16 is the rim
diameter six-and-a-half is the rim width
J is the size of the
flanges shape too big so so J then 45 is
the offset if it's a negative number
it's a negative offset there we go we
got all that information we're gonna jot
that down as well but there is one
important thing that is not on your rim
maybe it might be there for some here I
cannot find the bolt pattern that's
something that people asked that what's
the bolt pattern for this you need to
notice because if you're trying to sell
rims the bolt pattern is everything it's
gonna tell you if this rim will fit on
your car so people might ask what's the
bolt pattern but they might be referring
to PCD pitch circle diameter so it's a
measurement is the diameter of a circle
that runs through all the wheel studs so
you might have four wheel studs you
might have five wheel studs but I'll
probably make a whole video on measuring
your bolt pattern but for now I'm show
you guys pictures on how to measure a
bolt pattern for a wheel that uses four
lug nuts and one that uses five lug nuts
so here it is but if you can't measure
your wheel studs if you're not confident
doing it and you can also figure this
information out online if you know what
rim you have if you know what car it
fits on or what car it came off of like
in this example if this wheel came off
of a 2014 Honda Civic I can go online in
Google 2014 Honda Civic bolt pattern and
you can find information the Internet is
amazing you can find sources all sorts
of information just by searching up what
you have so don't be afraid to do that
and once you figure it out you want to
jot this information down so at this
point you can start taking pictures and
post your ad and put everything together
but I'm not gonna do that just yet I'm
going to step further because I'm trying
to make my job easier to sell these in
order to do that we're gonna have to
clean these rims and tires and make them
look nice make them look crispy for the
photos and so people will look at it and
say I definitely want to get these these
look clean and that's what we're doing
here we're cleaning the rims and tires
so I first all I used was a spray bottle
with soapy water and a drill brush
attachments to clean these rims but it
was kind of hot out so they kept drying
up pretty quickly and the dirty water
marks were left on the rims so all I did
was I used rim cleaner afterwards
actually I ended up working really well
especially for the sidewall of the tires
like eight
off the dirt I mean look at this is
taking the dirt off just by spraying I'm
not even putting anything on and just
spraying them on I'm not scrubbing it or
anything and it's taking off all that
dirt then I went ahead and just went
over it with the drill brush and I
constantly sprayed it with the soapy
water so I stayed wet and then I
lathered on some more soap after and
just dumped water on it and it cleaned
it up nice that's all you got to do you
don't have to be a specialist or a
detailer make sure everything's spotty
clean you don't have to do that stuff
now you should how to clean these nice
and they look good for pix now at this
point you just take your pictures here's
the pictures that I took
[Music]
all right so now I have everything set
up I have all my pics taken I have all
my information and I have my ad ready to
go I'm going to show you guys exactly
how I set my ad up so that I can get the
most traction on my listing you guys can
use stuff like a flipped marketplace let
go there's a bunch of apps I like to use
Kijiji but you could go on multiple
different platforms and post the same ad
that is actually the smartest thing to
do I'm gonna focus on Kijiji cuz I'm
familiar with it the most right here you
can see on Kijiji I went to ad type I'm
offering
I said tire size diameter 16 inch I am
the owner I'm not a business and the ad
title this is how I made it I put five
by one 14.3 that is the bolt pattern
Honda Civic rims with all season tires
it's short it's simple but this right
here is one of the most important things
that's because people are always asking
about bolt pattern they're always asking
about if I put it as the first thing
they see they're gonna click my ad right
away and say okay this guy knows what
kind of bolt pattern he has on these
rims he probably has other information
that's what I have in the description so
I see I have five by one fourteen point
three millimeters I put in an brackets
bolt pattern for people understand 16
inch rim diameter and I also put the rim
size the reason I put both of these
separate is because sometimes people
don't understand this oops this whole
thing they won't know what that means
right so I put 16 inch rim diameter
above it so that it's easier for them to
understand 205 55 16 8 9 H I put the
tire size do T 32:14 so the age of the
tire that's important for 30 seconds of
an inch tread and notice how I spaced
all of these apart a dash and then the
information and space you know it's
easier for people to read it looks clean
and so after all of this I have
additional information so it's like the
way I sell things
I'm currently selling these original
original that's key original 16 inch
Honda Civic rims with for 30 seconds of
inch all season tires the tires are
Hankook Optimo H 4 to 6 no dents /
cracks on the rims there's no leaks
found on the tires and rims if y'all
don't know how to find leaks on your
rims and tires I did
a video on that as well but basically to
end this all off by confidently like
that that right there cherry on top
people read this and I'm telling you
that heart starts to pound I feel the
confidence and then they buy they want
to get that extra pat on the back so
then after that it gives me tags
I put tire rim Honda 114 three decibel
pattern and 205 55 16 so usually this is
what people will search on and then the
picks so the way I organize my pictures
the main one was all for them because
people want to see all four rims being
sold like if I put this one someone
might think oh he's only selling one
with price this is how I figure out what
I'm gonna sell this for I go in search
shop but up 2014 Honda rims that's it
and I'm going to see if I could find
another ad that has the same rims that I
have okay let's look at these this is
brand-new this is brand-new stuff this
is actually good so the rims look brand
new actually and the buddy has Firestone
tires so tires you did put brand new
ones on let's go to information posting
this ad to offer for sale on your
percent brand new set for Honda Civic to
fifteen fifty five sixteen all season
tires plus brand new Honda factory alloy
rims five by one fourteen point three so
seats same it's the same bolt pattern
plus TPM se this guy's smart you did put
TPMS that means it has direct sensors I
can base my price off of this guys ah
you selling these brand new for 1,250 I
have rims that are used but I am
honestly gonna say they're like 80 to 85
percent new the tires however they're
low so that does take a hit on average a
set of four tires that's gonna set you
back about five six hundred around there
if I set it back about seven hundred
dollars which i think is fair I'm
looking at around five hundred bucks I
could sell my rims and tires for five
hundred I'm gonna set that as the
minimum I'm actually gonna post this for
six hundred that is what I'm gonna start
and if I can't get traction I'm gonna
try this out for one whole week if it
doesn't work I drop it down 50 bucks
I'm gonna go 550 I'm gonna try that that
week passes by I don't get enough
traction and I settled that 500 but I
don't go lower than that because that's
my minimum now we're here at the basic
ad and I don't want to pay for this I go
ahead and go with basic so I'm gonna go
ahead and preview my ad just to see how
it would look if I posted it and this is
how I would look on your phone and look
better because I took it in portrait
mode so maybe for websites landscape
would be better but I feel like more
people are on their phones anyways
that's why I recommend taking it
portrait mode and boom just like that ad
is posted now the reason we go with
basic we don't want to pay breakage easy
services of putting your ad up top is
because after 1 or 2 days your ads gonna
drop do you search up Honda Civic rims
right now yeah my stuff is gonna show up
first because I just posted my hat but
it's gonna start drop what you do have
to do is it's a little bit of work but
you have to repose this is the key can't
be lazy with this stuff you want to sell
things you've got to just repost it it's
gonna get back to the top all it takes
is one serious buyer to look at your ad
and boom you may end up selling your
rims this is how I do it I took all that
extra information on my description
right and all I did was copy and paste
it into notes but you can post it
anywhere and just save this as a word
document so when you have to repost boom
copy paste your title copy all this
paste your description put your pics in
and just submit it again that one see
saves you so much time and you just have
to do that every other day I would say I
have everything ready to go I'll show
you guys when I do end up selling these
guys check this out I cannot make this
stuff up we have sold the rims and tires
take this in take this in I posted the
ads yesterday within the same day a few
hours later
one guy messages me and says $400 I'm
like no my minimum was 500 450 and I'm
like fine I'll just settle at 450 the
only reason I did it for 450 or
is because I got these for free I could
have made more money I got easily easily
could have made like five six easily if
I had waited but I'm just here to show
you guys like I got two people to
message me with in a few hours and you
know check this out I posted this look
80 people 80 people 80 people viewed it

why I tell you guys you have to repost
this stuff but the fact is I got 80
people see I posted it posted it June
1st it is June 2nd it is June 2nd just
all in one day is all you got to do guys
as long as you guys follow what I did
