Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could add a 'Wheels For Sale' section in the for sale bit. Driftworks done this a while back and it makes life so much easier for buying & selling.

I know that too many boards can clutter up a forum, but I can see the sense in this. Mind you, if I had my way, everything in the world would be neatly sorted into infinite sections and sub-sections. One of the perils of OCD is that you can over-sort things and end up with more of a mess than when you started!

Drift Works has a dedicated section because wheels are a massive part of that community and the demand warrants it.
Although Retro Rides is one of the biggest car forums on the net, it doesn't have the same amount of wheel FS threads in comparison for there to be a need for it to have its own sub section, IMO.
I like dedicated sections for them on forums, but in this instance I don't think there would be a benefit to it UNLESS it also included, everything else associated with wheels; info, pictures, FAQs, guides etc etc, a bit like RR Wheel Whores.
RR tries to cater for all aspects of car enthusiasm, hence the general board, rather than specifics so it appeals to a wider audience...I 'spose if you had a dedicated wheel section, you'd also need to consider performance, detailing, etc sub forums...But with the General Board, Technical section and Project threads open, it kind of negates the need for that and could also change the dynamics of the forum.

I think your over thinking it a bit there. Just a wheels for sale in the for sale section, that's it, there's no need for all sorts of other bits & bobs or engines for sale, gearboxes for sale, they're all fine in a parts section. There might not be the volume of ads like other sites but there's enough to keep it rolling and certainly easier than scrolling through page after page hunting for wheels. Maybe off of my mobile it might be easier but just think it would be nice to have.

I prefer the wheels being mixed in with other bits, as you often come across other tat in the same thread that you don't need but want

It's a great idea, but we do try and keep the amount of sub-boards down as much as possible (even if it doesn't look like it).
There's also the question of moderating the board. Finding another way for people to get ads 'wrong' and police it accordingly is something we're keen to avoid.
In summary:
Good suggestion, but it's not going to happen, sorry.
