What to do with my smashed wheel

[etaks99rs]

So I hit a huge pothole with my right front wheel a few weeks ago and flattened and scuffed a 4-5 inch section. I already spent the money and replaced it, but I don't know what to do with the old wheel.

Give it to your significant other as bling. :lol:

I'm pretty sure she would rather have her own set of new wheels

Its worth a shot.

Did you ever get quoted on how much to get it unbent? I assume it would make a decent spare.

Selling it for wicked cheap might even work.

I'm willing to bet your blingless friend won't be too keen on the idea of it becoming furniture.

[RCKSTR]

with a subaru you need a full size spare so I'd say go with that :D

those donuts are junk and can/will still ruin your diffs :unamused:

[mdungelman]

Depending on the cost to fix it, go for the full size spare. Is the wheel bent so much that your car wobbles?

[etaks99rs]

The wheel actually isn't that bad. It still held the bead on the tire so it held air but I don't know how bad it would be off balance. I am going to look at getting a quote for fixing it.

Spraypaint it a cool color that matches your decor and hang it on your wall.

with some gold on a roll?


Is that anything like soap on a rope? :lol:

[FREAK]

cut it in half and turn it in to a steering wheel! or a pendant or get a junk tire cut that in half too and bolt it on the back of your car like an old Lincoln!

:dunno: I don't think the old Lincoln look would go well on the STi

[Robk0000]

Dude if you get rid of it, ill take it and make a table outta it.

[Rokkit]

I'm using my painted stocker i smashed on a curb last year as a clock :)

[CTATV]

make a unicycle with it

[BrosWRX]

Good thing Subie stopped with the under-hood spares cuz if you fixed it and saved it as a spare with the old designs good luck fitting it.. lol..

[My Name]

put it on the car use it like anti theft.

[BrosWRX]

Use it as a keychain for your house keys?

[Psychoreo]

New belt buckle

[Bu11dogg2]

what did you decide?

[CTATV]

New belt buckle

:rofl:

[etaks99rs]

what did you decide?

Ehh, I haven't made any decisions yet. I'm temporarily getting laid off til the mountain is ready to open. (thanksgiving ish) So, the wheel is just sitting in storage. When I start getting real paychecks again I am probably going to make a full size spare out of it... maybe
