Default What should I do with this wheel

I have a 1999 D2 full size spare wheel and tire (tire is dry rotted af) that was on the car when I bought it but I have since replaced it with a wheel and tire that matches the other 4 on the car. Nobody on marketplace seems to want to buy the wheel but I feel bad just taking it to tire store and having them throw it away. Moving soon and need it gone. Any recommendations on what to do with it?

Post a pic of them. Someone on here may be interested, or know a person who is looking for something like this. You can also post on craigslist, facebook marketplace, or if there's a local rovers club.

Put it by the road with "for sale $25" sign on it. Someone will steal it.

Had a Buddy who couldn't sell a motorcycle. Had a bank loan on it, had to keep full coverage insurance on it. Recommended he do this a week before Myrtle Beach bike week. I wasn't recommending him get it stolen on purpose but he was getting zero hits on sale price for bank payoff. Figured the traffic heading to the beach would generate interest for him.

It was stolen less than an hour after putting it at the end of his driveway.

Insurance paid it off. Since then I now put free things on side of street. If they don't disappear I put a for sale sign on them and they magically disappear.

If the old tire is removed scrap metal places usually will give you 25-35.00 for the aluminum wheel by itself. Or post it up on FB MP for free.
