What to do?

Hey what do you guys do with your stock rims/tires after you guys get aftermarket ones? I'm just curious...no idea WTH I'm gonna do with mine.

Anyone want to buy a set of 16 rims?!?

I guess I'll keep em in the garge or somethings. Maybe stack em and have a new end table?

Well....

Most ppl i know that get after market rims keep ther old rims.. and since u live in nj... i think u should to.. for the winter tym.. is good to keep them just in case.. but your other choice, is that u can sell them.. but that end table sounds like a good idea...

Re: What to do?

1) Keep them! It's always nice to have an extra set of rims and tires occupying space in your garage. I have three sets right now!!!Besides, it will definitely impress your neighbors and friends.

2) Spares! I use mine whenever I get a flat tire. And, you can also buy a couple of racing slicks for the track, if your into the racing thing. Everyone knows it's illegal to race on the street and public highways!!!

3) Hurting for cash? Check with your local rim/tire store, like Discount Tire. They know people who buy rims for insurance claims/repairs. I sold my last two sets this way, and made a couple hundred bucks each time.

Ever price a crappy Nissan OEM rim at the dealer??? Damn, Gina!!!

Keep the rims and put some drag radials on them... when you go dragging, pull them out and use them.
