Call around yards pay you for the car or at least take it for free and yes they can flat bed it with no wheels

it has rims but sadly they are better then the ones i have now
but i dont wanna give up my current ones either because they are not bad and they have brand new tires on them so i dont know what i want to do yet and i wanted some info on the towing and junk fees becasue its not in my posesion yet and i dont want to end up paying to much for a wrecked car and get stuck with fees that i would be forced to pay in the end

Around here they'll pay you by weight for the scrap metal if you drag it in, or they'll bring a flatbed out and pick it up for free. Wheels or no wheels.

borrow a set of wheels, have it towed to your place. strip it clean then have a junkyard come get the rest.
