My winter tires are mounted to 15" steelies, way easier and cheaper than 2x/year mount/remount. Also gives you a chance to put anti-seize on the hubs, something I've never heard of a shop doing.

Steel wheels are cheap, mounting costs about $40 a pop. Buy a floor jack and after one year you've already broke even.


TI-driftin; can you take a picture of the dent? Some can be worked out and the wheel straightened. Might help with the sale.
You cant straighten it. Its an alluminum wheel. It will just break off. Shops wont try it. I had an old alluminum stock wheel that was bent and no shop would do it so i tried to do it my self and the lip just broke right off. Now I made it into an end table with a glass top.
