ST Rims, left and forgotten for 2 years
Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:18 am
I bought a 2007 ST back in Jan. 2009, the stock machined 16" rims were on. 3 days later, a tire blew due to being bald on the extreme inside edge, so that rim was bent. I put SES rims on, because nobody could find a replacement at the time. 9 months later, the car was squished by a tree. When the insurance adjustor came to pick up the car (totaled it), I just threw the bent ST rim in the trunk and kept the three good ones, on the grounds that I was going to get another one. Well, things changed, so I just tossed them in the woods behind my grandmas house. I completely forgot about them until recently. Now, after 2 years of sitting face down in the dirt in the woods for 2 years, they have returned back to me.
The squished car they originally came from
I honestly thought they were going to be melted piles in the woods. But, they were just pretty dirty, and full of leaves.
Gave them a good scrubbing, and this showed up. Looks like I didn't get away with as much as I thought I did. The corrosion isn't very bad, though. It's definitely fixable. Now, all I need to do is find one cheap one, and I'll have a complete set for winter!
