What to do with "kiao" (damaged) rims?

Hi bros,

I have a pair of "kiao" (damaged) rims (Gram Lights T57-RC) which I have since replaced. A bit pity to throw away.

Any ideas what I can do with the pair? Or any karang guni man might be interested in them as scrap metal? :P

Thanks,
Andy

how damage is damaged, if its only scratch and dents on the walls of the rims that it can still be repair, but just that the wheel may or maynot be able to be balance as the original conditions.

It its distorted damaged, the rims is as good as scrap metal. but can still sell for money, but not much.
Some of them sell it to Malaysia, where some drivers do not drive fast enough to feel the unbalance rim, what they want are just beuatiful rims .

If you have 2 rims can make as a side table... put 2 on top of each other put a circular glass on top...

correction, if u put juz the rim only, the glass will slide around.

Solution is to put on the rubber as well...... the bigger the profile of the tyre, the better. Lup on the tyre, then put on the glass.

Viola, one side table!!
