That being the case, try swapping them with someone for a set of 16" or 17"
tires. There may be some young buck who'd jump on it. Craigslist would be
good for that.

Or sell them tires and all and buy a replacement wheel/tire set from somewhere
like TireRack:

Or check with Chris at Force 5; he should be able to find decent wheels and
tires coming off a car going to the crusher.
