I got a new rim for the x because the right rear has been curbed and it took a really big chunk out of the wheel, still holds air but I figure better safe then sorry.. I will say that I don't know if it was already like this or or the dealer did it when they sold/put new tires on it for me... Anyways, what do I do with the old rim? I am thinking it is aluminum so could I just take it to the scrap yard and turn it in...

The scrap yard is always a good option!!
 






Around here an aluminum rim will get you a bit more than $10 in recycling
Tire must be off the rim.
 






swap it out with your ugly spare rim
 












I thought about swapping it out, was not sure if the full size wheel and tire would fit in the factory location.. If it does then that is what I will do..
