Must have been a nice rim!

As you experienced, spending $500 to keep a $1500 car from becoming a brick is a great value.

If/when I have the time, my plan is to take cars like this and part them out. Lots of people out there willing to pay for a working OEM part to de-Brick their car.

If you’re patient enough; selling rims one by one would pay off. Nobody really wants to replace all 4 when they really needed one.

Yeah it was, I bought a more expensive car when I was younger. When this one gives out I'm getting a cheaper one (hopefully without phone home electronics too).
