Factory Wheels?
Anyone know any place that may take these wheels off me? I've had em up for sale on Craigslist, Ebay, here and other places for about 3 months.. I am starting to get tired of seeing them stacked in my garage, but don't want to just chunk them you know.. Would like something out of them since I paid for them with the sticker price.. I contacted some of those OEM Refurb places but none of them wanted to reply... Hell I'm selling them way cheap compared to what we paid for them when we all got our trucks..
Just wonderin if anyone knew

Hey Storm.. try calling Discount Tire or any other tire shop around town. When I got my custom wheels Discount Tire gave me $200 for the factory tires/wheels. It may not be much but it gets them out of your garage. I'm really surprised you haven't been able to sell them.

Try Hubcap Annie at 10104 N. Lamar. There's one in San Antonio that I sold some wheels to once. They won't give you much. Or you could wait until the next swap meet comes around and get rid of all the old parts and such that you don't want around. It amazes me what I have been able to sell at swap meets.

I would hold onto them myself.
Saving a set of factory wheels came in handy one day, went outside to start my wife's car to go to work, there it was sitting on blocks, the custom wheels long gone.

Leave it to you to say it... If someone tried to take my wheels my alarm would go off like crazy and I woudl be shooting someone.. Plus I live in cul-de-sac so someone would see them

Carry some brake fluid or muratic acid with you, find a truck with factory wheels and pour fluid and/or acid all over them, then leave a note on the windshield "Hey buddy, your wheels look like $**t.. I know where you can get a new set of them fairly cheap."

Trust me, I would have shot them if I would have caught them, nothing would have given me more satisfaction at the time!
I moved away from that neighborhood.
