Need help! Anyone in Philly?

I am looking at a set of wheels in Philadelphia. The seller will not remove the tires and ship them.

Will gladly pay some labor and provide a shipping label.

Any volunteers?

So to be clear you want volunteer to go to house, remove wheels from vehicle. Take wheels somewhere to remove tires. Take tires back to seller. Then ship wheels?

Or just ship wheels and tires and you deal with the shit on your end? If that's the case post an ad on uship someone will do it for you.

That is a ton of manual labor, wow. OP is probably just wanting to pay for the wheels and not the tires, so the whole proposal of having seller ship the whole thing is not what OP is looking to do.

Sorry I was not clear. Thanks.

I need someone to pick up the tires and wheels, take them to a shop, remove and dispose of the tires and ship the wheels to me.

The tires are worn and of no good to me or the seller. He is moving and does not have the time nor ability (I believe) to keep the wheels.

If the guy selling the wheels and making the $$ off the deal isn't willing to do it, good luck to OP finding a good Samaritan....

He’s really looking at a nightmare.

I’ve learned my first 2 wheel purchases off forum that my definition of “mint” is not the same as others trying to sell them in most cases.

Then the seller can claim the tire shop damaged.

Or the Good Samaritan damaged them.

Or they never ever arrive at all.

I’d never take that approach. But again, I’ve seen what many sellers claim and what they actually deliver.
