What did you do with your old Rims?

I have never bought a new set of rims before. I have only ever gone the plastidip route. That is about to change though.

So, out of curiosity, what did you do with your old rims when you upgraded?

try to sell them?
make some yard art?
hide them away until time to trade in the vehicle?
Will a recycling center take them?

Whatcha got?

 

People usually sell them or keep them for their winter/snow tires

 

The concept of winter snow tires doesn't exist where I live. Winter is a brief 3 week break from summer in SC.

 

Left mine at Discount Tire. Not worth the "Selling on line" hassel for mine.

Craigslist them bitches. On the forum side, everyone either has these or has likely swapped out. On CL, you will find people that are on the hunt for new tires just to cheap out on their replacements on their vehicle. I know they tend to be nuts as a populace, but they likely don't have the same goals as the forum guys do.

If they don't sell within 3-4 cycles of CL with atleast some interest, then you can look to make a "wheel" garden.

 

Sell them. Note the wheels will also fit Chevy Silverado 1500s and 1st gen Colorados with the appropriate plastic hub ring

 

CL.

They will fit all gens. No use in not getting some cash back.

If you are a vehicle 'trader' keeping them till then isn't a bad thought if you have the space. Most folks prefer to buy 'unmolested' unless they personally know the owner/builder and are familiar with the vehicle.

Aftermarket wheels won't do jack on a trade in value.

 

Some tech went home happy with his new wheels!

 

My thought was similar, except that the tires were nearly brand new, so this time I decided to sell them. Would be a waste to let brand new tires just rot away on the off chance I need them in an emergency or some situation. Sold them for $700 then a couple months later just bought stock 1st gen tundra wheels with 285s for $100. Those can rot away for that slim off chance I ever need them.

 

sell

 

Ebay always has them for sale..

Flower pots

 

Sold my steelies/tires to one of the service advisers at the dealership when they installed my take-off's...

 

YOU WHAT!
Someones lucky day at discount tire!

 

Stashed them in my tool shed.

 

That wins some kind of redneck Award

 

Make money off them

 

Dealership bought mine for 800 for the wheels and tires off my limited. Only had a couple hundred miles on it.

 

I sold them. I tried to sell them on here for next to nothing, but got no local takers. I listed them on Craigslist and had a bidding for them that day, and got way more money. lol

 

The TPMS alone is worth a pretty penny
