    Had a nice 22 in rim for a newer GMC Yukon that was brand new but only had one. Tried to sell it for a couple of months...kept dropping the price till I got to a C note then scrapped it for $82.

    That reminds me, I had a rim and the temporary spare from a Porsche. Don't remember the size, never knew what year. Tried to sell em both. For some reason no one was interested. So after a few months I popped off the center cap (still got that) and scrapped em. Wish I woulda held on to em tho. It kind of neat. Probably the closest I'll ever to come to owning one. lol

    You scrapped an alum rim for $82? Dang that's good money! Lol I thought I was doing pretty good today when I got just under $32 for a 20" BMW rim.

    I should go back and see if I can find the ticket cuz that doesn't seem right now that I think about it...I do know I was surprised that it brought as much as it did. I was was also glad when I didn't have to worry scratching it anymore and just threw it in the back of the van.
