Aluminum wheels, once considered an aftermarket bonus, now come standard on many vehicles. Whether because you've had a traffic accident that damaged your wheels or because you want an upgrade, you may choose to replace your current aluminum wheels. Throwing away your old aluminum wheels creates an unnecessary environmental burden; and they're worth something, too. You can reduce the environmental impact by choosing to recycle them; or you may recoup some of your initial investment into your wheels by selling them to a scrap metal yard.
