I did not get the Rims.... Thus why I bought the 2 steel rims outa the Junkyard (went on rear)..... & took 2 dummy tires with me (went on front)

NOPE
My deal is that I know the parts to grab and so forth from this car..... heck I was looking at buying just a majority of the parts (guy quoted me $110) but then i decided instead of being nickled and dimed I would have the whole car...... I have all ready made my money off a few parts if I drag the car across the scales...... So now.... lets rake in the money

Those look like saturn vue rims as well. I'd pull them- NOT cut the tires and try to CL the rims as is- you'll make a bunch more off of them as a set on CL than cutting the tires off and scrapping the aluminum!
And yep
doing just fine
heck in regards to parts.... I have an Ion, Vue, S-Series, & L-Series Factory Parts Catalog for selling parts online (this is my 1st full part out.... recently I've just been pillaging any Junkyard I can get into for Saturn Parts (I pick clean of anything I can sell), My local guys even sometimes joke with me- We crushed all Saturns, nothing out there for you (that's all I pull off of basically)
Nope..... Vue Rims have a 5-115 Bolt Pattern (if they were these)
A) Someone would have mad-skills
B)I would steal them for my own
They are Ion Rims (same bolt pattern 4-100 as the S-series)
Sadly I did not get them with the car though... would loved to because tires were almost brand new

Flipping them? There's bits and pieces (like needing whole engine/trans, plus when he cut out the engine other stuff got cut) that for me makes it a ehh.... Parts Car...... I would love to save her, but with $$$ and time wise I can't really do that right now. When I'm out on my own, I hope to be able to flip just "a few"
Saturns

I'm sorry I can't deface a Saturn like that.... having lowering springs can make some Saturns look amazing, but what I'm picturing from you is like "stancing"

Yes most people call them turds..... But well I grew up on Saturn, 1st car I remember was a 95 White SL1,
Family Saturn List: 95 White SL1 (sold at 185k), 98 Gold SL1 (365k, number of CRAZY ACCIDENTS and still kicking), 03 Silver Vue (totaled at 165k, saved my life), 08 Gold Outlook (95k, alive and kicking), 98 Black SL2 (125K RIP, totaled), 96 Maroon SW2 (114k, Sold Autotragic), 98 Green SW2 (160k, Sold Autotragic), 05 Vue (115k, Alive and kicking)...
