Sell of keep stock wheels?

Just got new wheels on today and I'm stuck with a dilemma. I don't have a whole lot of storage space and my stock wheels are now taking up space. They are the stock style 16" snowflakes. I feel it would be good to keep them around just in case. They have fairly nice tires on them and are not curbed at all. My other option would be to sell them but I don't think I could get very much for them. What are people's opinions as to what I should do with them?

I would just keep them since you will get next to nothing for them... u can always use them later as a second set for the track

Agree. Keep them as backup.

Well it seems most people think I should keep them. I guess it would make a good backup set and they sure as hell beat the mini spare that came with the car stock. My problem is storage space is at a premium here. I guess I can get a storage unit somewhere, since I do seem to be accumulating lots of car things and don't want to toss them.

Storage units are expensive but if you plan on getting one anyway, then keep the tires. Some day (who knows when) the wheels will be sought after for collectors restoring their cars to stock. That could be 15-20 years down the road still. Now on the other hand, you might rather have a few hundred bucks now and don't worry about it at all.

I was thinking that too. I have all the stock parts for my car because it came completely stock so I figure if I keep them around I could put the car back to stock completely if there were ever a day where that would be more valuable.

Currently I hid the wheels at my parent's lake house. I'll have to see how long it takes them to notice. Pretty much everything stored there is Christmas decorations so I figure I can leave the wheels there six months before they get found. My lease is up in September so I might have a place with real storage by then.
