 What to do with old wheels?



I have a set of bottle cap wheels off of my E36. Not in great shape but they are straight and balance perfectly.

The dilema is that I no longer have room to store them. I don't see myself using them again and they have curb rash so whoever buys my car in the future isnt likely to want or need them.

I tried to sell them twice on ebay w/o success.

So how do I dispose of them?
Should I sell them for scrap?
Any other useful ideas?

I'd make a cool coffee table out of them by putting a piece of glass over them.

Or you could sell them for scrap to some metal recycling place. My wife kept amassing all this scrap metal and finally loaded up a pickup bed and went to a scrap metal yard. Came home with a check for several hundred dollars.

Label them and take them to a thrift store like Goodwill, Salvation Army, St. Vincent DePaul, etc.

Someone will buy them; agency gets the $$.

Everyone is happy.

I had an extra set of 5 spoke Chromadoras w/track tires for my 318ti...tried for 2 years to sell them to no avail. I finally donated them to our local BMW Club as a door prize at the annual dinner...yes, I was a hero and the guy who won them was ecstatic. Best thing I could have done with them.
