Which things you should never Rent?

Here I have mentioned five things for which renting is a terrible idea:

1. Rims.

At Rent A Wheel in Van Nuys, Calif., for a set of VCT Grissini wheels you can pay the cash price of $1,612, or as an alternative you can pay $62 a week for a year — and pay for them exactly double as $62 times 52 weeks is $3,224.
