Put 'em on Craigslist starting at $50 for the set and drop the price $5/week until they sell. It took me 3 or 4 days to sell my stock steel five spokes (with two bad tires and two usable ones) for $40. They don't have much value.

The Bone-Yard wants $25 per wheel with bad rubber, I'll bet the scrap yards would pay about that...

The only thing those rims are worth are scrap. In order to get most money for them you must remove tires from them. For all five you might get enough to carry your old lady out for a meal.

My scrap yard gives $6 each for aluminum rims. Put them on CL for about $10 each and you will probably find someone who needs some usable rims without a lot of $$$.

If they don't sell in a week or so, call the scrap places, but if they have tires on them they will not take them. El' Cheapo tire shop wants $5 each to unmount them, thus making it not worth the effort.
