Default recycling stock jeep rim for cash
I recently slammed into a curb and my rim was bent and un repairable so I went to the junkyard and bought a nicer one. Now I have this bent spare rim sitting around can I recycle it for cash? What is it made of? Aluminum? I'm tryin to save for some new tires!

Cherokees came with steel/aluminum wheels. No way of knowing without picture. I scrapped a 23lb. aluminum charger rim for $12.50.

^This, if it bent it is probably steel though, aluminum rims usually crack/chip rather than bending.

You won't get much but scrap away. Recycling is good

Aluminum wheels are a lot thicker than steel.
If it's aluminum it might bring $12-$15.
If it's steel maybe 50 cents.
