This is the place to go when you have looked everywhere, or when you are on a budget. Some of the parts that you find might be in great condition because they might come off a new snowmobile that was totaled, or some may be in terrible shape, like those that came from old snowmobiles. At these yards, you can find many models of retired snowmobiles, such as Polaris and Yamaha.
Lastly, if you are either a mechanic or someone in that league of under-the-hood skills you can always try the auto yard. Because these cars are sometimes used for unsanctioned racing you can usually find imports at the junkyard. "Pick a part" type auto parts businesses tend to work with salvage and insurance companies to get choice wrecks, and while you probably wouldn't go there to get an RX-7 door panel, they are perfect spots to find interior RX-7 parts and engine parts. used auto parts that come from "pick a part" yards are usually pretty cheap because you are doing the finding and removing of the part all by yourself. Again, this is recommended only if you really know what you're doing. A mechanic who works with cars every day can spot a useful part from a throw away, can you?
Overall, with cheaper wheels you give up a quiet, comfortable ride that is smoother and easier to handle, but most significantly, you give up safety. If you want to save money on your tires, the best alternative would be to keep an open eye out for higher quality tires that are on sale.
This way you will be sure that you are getting a good deal overall, and that your money will be well-spent. Perhaps one of the most important things that you will want to look for is the size. Sometimes people who sell muscle car parts mistake the size or write the incorrect one, so you will want to double check just to be sure.

Bigger tires can actually be a great help for some farmers.
Sell your car for parts on your own. They're many people that just need parts. If you can stomach what comes with selling your junk car for part, then that is the best way to go. You will make more money then any salvage yard, salvager, or scrap yard would pay you.
Sometimes the tires you are looking at may be unevenly worn due to an alignment or suspension problem with the vehicle the tires were previously on. Although they may still be structurally sound for ideal driving I would recommend that tires with even tread wear are purchased. Also if there is any scalloping of the tread road noise and poor handling are potentially going to be a problem.
