Default What can I do with my old rims and tires?

I have a set of 17" rims and tires. TSW Imola's that are bent along with some Yokohoma AVS tires that are almost bald. TSW suck, dont buy them. Anyways I dont think I could get much money if anything for them so I tempted to throw them away.

Instead of throwing them away, can I recycle them? Will someplace like discount tire take them. Does it cost money?

TIA
Jeff

Default TSW=Totally Soft Wheels! Metal recycler, I got $4 for my BMW rim, that's almost a hit of crack!

Halfway joking because they do sell crack at the recycler, all the bums and crack-heads strip copper wire and pick up cans for $. Inter-city recyclers in bad 'hoods do sell it. Maybe some AudiWorld'er will pick them up and use the wheels for snows, where do you live?

Default Yea, I figure someone might buy them but not worth my time

by the time I find a buyer, then spend time packing and shipping, it is not worth it to me.

I will take them off your hands. I will pay the shipping on them and give you a little extra for doing it. Email me if you are interested audiworld@mattegel.com
