What to do with old warped steel rims?

I recently had to get new rims because my old ones warped. With the old ones would it be worth selling them as scrap or just the front two that are not warped locally and scrapping the warped ones? Thanks for the advice!

 

If they're all trashed, sell them for scrap. You won't get much...maybe a couple dollars. If any of the four are still round, Craigslist them. Steel wheels aren't worth a whole lot but you might walk away with lunch money.

FWIW, I scrapped an alloy wheel a few years ago and the guy gave me $1.50. I needed to get rid of it anyway and it was way beyond repair so I bought a soda with the money.

 

I would toss them all up on craigslist but mark the warped ones.... some one needs a base for a patio umbrella or tailgating tent and will offer better than the scrapper.... list alloys that are shot too, I cut up a wheel or two to cast in art school, way cheaper than ingots.

 

Steel wheels aren't worth much anyways.
Steel scrap is nearly worthless.

Find a local company that does road construction and see if you can get $10 for them... they'll weld a pipe into them and mount stop signs to then.

 

I'll try craigslist first and see if I can sell the good two first then I'll just scrap them all or see if I can find a construction company right now they are just taking up space. Thanks!

 

Use them for a pedestal base, I use one for my bench grinder, frees up space on the work bench and is sort of portable. They are plenty heavy enough for the average grinder to stay put.
Weld a post in the center, old driveline works good for this, and a plate on the top, mount your grinder or whatever.

 

1.Use them as a base for a big @zz fire pit
2.Farmer may use to hold down tarps
3.Lawn art, prop a trailer up, hold up a mailbox the possibilities are endless

 

Beat 'em back into shape and wheel 'em; that's what they're made for !

 

Weld 3 "6 legs on it and make a toyota bbq grill or attach to house/garage to wrap up garden hose

 

thats it??? i get about 15 each for alloys.....

 

The warped ones are ovalish and I have new rims already


Thanks for the ideas I might use some! but the rims are on my backburner for now
