Any reason to hang on to them or are they just history & ready for the trash?

Are they completely gone Donnie ? I replaced all of my wheels a while back. The old wheels still had a little life left in them, so I gave them to a friend as starter wheels until he can afford new ones.

The 80 grit is pretty much gone, was starting to see spots of rust on it. The 220 still has some life left in it but I could tell I had run out of diamond towards the center in a couple of spots when I was grinding. Also saw a small spot of rust on it last night before I replaced it with the new one. I only have the two.

The wheels from my Genie weren't showing rust yet, but the cutting action was slowing down. I kept the 14,000 grit wheel that originally came with the machine. It had very little use on it, and went on my 2 wheel machine. The new owner of the other 5 wheels is happily grinding away, and learning his new hobby. In exchange, I became the owner of a couple big hunks of primo Biggs jasper. Didn't ask for them, but the guy insisted on giving me something in return.
