Default What do you do with three wheels?

I sold my Etoile/Goti wheels to a guy in CA and UPS (pronounced OOPS) delivered three of them and the fourth is history. They returned the three wheels to me and I have them in a box in the basement.
Three wheels are about as useful as a screen door in a submarine, but I hate to throw them out. To get an idea of what they look like go to:

The center is powder coated black and there's a Porsche crest on the center cap.
The offsets are wrong for the 928, but they will fit.
They're yours for the shipping if you want them.

They're 17 inch and I think the rears are 10" and the fronts are 8" if I remember correctly. The rear offsets appear to be around 45mm (I used spacers on the rear). The fronts are probably around the same.
Gretch, if you have a use for them they're yours.

According to Snoop-dog and Dr. Dre you would "take a sip of the potion and kick the three motion."

Two nibbles, no bites. UPS says about $60-70 shipping. They go to the dump Monday if nobody wants them.

Put them on ebay, I'm sure someone will pay something for them!

The Mercedes buys may also be interested if the offsets are right.

Aluminum scrap may be your best bet?
