    Rims and Tires - Are they still good after sitting for 3-years
    My daughter totaled her 2001 Tiburon - rolled it... luckily nobody hurt.

    Anyway, she had real nice Motegi rims and new Potenza tires. They have been sitting in my garage for almost 3-years. Are they still good??

    One of the rims had weeds between the tire and rim, and the rim has some scratches and a chip in the chrome in that area - obviously from the wreck. I cleaned them up and they all took air - 32 PSI. The tires look good - no cracks or flat spots.

    Should I just sell them, or have them balanced to ensure they are OK? I don't want to sell them and have someone get hurt.

    Your thoughts??

    Rims and tires can last nearly forever, except for when the weather gets to them or dry rot... since your tires held air then they are still in good condition, if they were ruined by weather or dry rot then they wouldn't be able to hole the 35PSI
