Do most of you guys hang on to your stock rims, or have you sold them? I have had mine in the corner of the garage taking up space for the year or so. I was thinking about selling them cause I don't plan on going back to stock anytime soon. Should I keep em, or put some extra money in my pockets?

 

Ca. = your choice. Might be nice to put the stockers back on when you sell the car.

Any area with snow=good idea to keep for winter tires. 235-245 width performance tires + snow = one hairy ride

 

I keep all my factory parts when I replace with a modification. I also only install mods that I can reverse and go back to stock from. IMO, best way to go.

 

keep them you never know you could brake, vent or
what ever a rim them your stuck

 

i would probably sell mine cause the stock rims could never clear the Z calipers I plan to put on.

same with alot of members here in socal

 

if you sell your car with aftermarket parts you lose most of the money you spent on them... so if your new wheels cost $1k you WILL NOT recover that money when you sell the car. So keep stock stuff and put it back on before you sell, then sell the wheels for more than you'd get if they were on the car.

and in NE we usually keep stock wheels and put snow tires on

 

I agree with future selling/trading of your car. It may have an impact on that process if someone doesn't like the style you chose or dealers might prefer a stock looking car to accept as trade.

 

sell them now, get a nice wad of cash, and when time comes around to sell your car or going back to stock, buy some stock wheels off someone else. Thats what i plan to do. But then again, I needed the money badly so i sold my wheels.

 

sell rims, and get steelies

 

yeah, I will probably sell them. I don't have to worry about snow, and I have 300zx brakes, so they wouldn't clear in the front anyway. I can probably always pick up a set here later, if I really needed them.

 

Keep your rims, good to have when you sell the car...... I still have my stockers for my 91 SE-R

 

I kept my stock wheels and mounted winter tires on em for the snow......

you can sell your stock rims but make sure you buy 5 sets of wheel locks. (j/k, you can buy one or two sets)

 

I'd keep them just in case something happens to the ones on your Max now.

 

I would keep them if I wasn't absolutely dying for cash or storage space, and as long as they're in good condition. It's easier to keep them just in case you need them again rather than to replace them in the future.

I also agree with what 2k2wannabe said about recovering your investment. You will usually get more money by selling things in parts than as a whole.

 

yes you should keep your stock wheels just in case. you never know what can go right or what can go wrong.

 

my exact thinking from the beginning...
