The 2 extra rims I have are bent and need fixed. I don't really need them....but I don't know if I want to scrap them since they don't make them. Trying not to be a border! But kinda hard to throw sh*t away!!!

Border I mean
 
Steel rims can be repaired, but in most cases it's not cost effective. Years back I've given away a set of Chevy rally wheels because each one was bent. They weren't visually bent when looking at them. It was noticed more when they were spun on a balancing machine...they had a wobble to them.

I will pitch them then. They had a wobble and I replaced them. Don't need to hang on to junk

I know how you feel about getting rid of them. I'm usually reluctant about tossing something that I feel can be refurb'ed. You gotta think practically and make the right call.
 
Maybe you can sell them to someone that wants to make a custom base for their mailbox.
I sold a couple old sets of stamped steel SBC rocker arms and some guy bought them to make some welded art figurines with them, at least they got used for something.
