Default What do do with scuffed 20" x 9.5" wheels? Off road tires?

Long story short, someone rubbed their bumper against my 1 year old wheels, ruining the finish. Because they are machine faced finish, only way to fix is to sand, fill and paint. Material can not be removed to keep the machine finish, so insurance got me 4 new wheels.

Now that I have an extra set, I was thinking of painting them black, and just throw on some off road tires. This is a turbo s 957, any thoughts on the widest tires that will fit? Do they even make 20" off road tires?

Any other thoughs for the wheels? Or should I just scrap them?

I was looking for another sport techno as a full-size spare for long trips. I would list them on ebay; I bet someone will buy them one at a time.

Don't waste your time with 20" offroad tires. You need to go as small a wheel diameter as possible so you can have a tall tire.

Thanks, yeah that is what I figured, could get something wider maybe.

Smallest wheel I can do is 19"

^^ yeah that's why I got a regular turbo instead of an S, so I could fit 18" wheels. The 18" BFG T/A KO2s I got work pretty well and fit without rubbing even with teh 31.5" outer diameter.
