Awl--

1990 Mazda 929S.  3.0 L, 180 hp (conservative, I think), dohc, was a
knockoff of the MB 450 two-tone/panels, etc.
Great car.
I'm holding Services Sunday, junking on Monday, proly get about $150-200.

But here's the Q:

This car came w/ dynomite aluminum rims, very high quality, expensive even
back in '90.  Plus I got expensive snow tires mounted on expensive rims.

Will it be worth it to part these out separately?
Will these rims fit other cars, or are they pretty much car/brand specific?

Too much trouble?

The wreckers around here sell used tires for $25.00.  Any condition.

I did this a few weeks ago, went to the local wrecker and got 3
spares, and put all 4 spares on a wrecked car and took the alloys(I
actually got them for free, cost me like 30 bucks at the wrecker for
the 3 spares). I'm sure you could pawn them off on craigslist for a
hundred bucks or so.

Try eBaying them.  They usually sell for more than what you would get
for the car yes.
