Who has kept their stock wheels after getting new ones?

[Black03Si]

Just curious as to who all is hanging on to their stock wheels and who has sold them. Also, I know there are several reasons for keeping them or selling them, but I'd just like to see some individual reasons.

I'm thinking I don't need to keep mine, but once I sell them I'll probably wish I had kept them. Grass is always greener on the other side.

stock wheels are for winter use.

I sold mine cause I live in Georgia so I don't care about the winter.

I kept mine for 3 reasons. 1. Winter use 2. Resale
(if I ever do?) better to sell or trade it in as stock. 3. It never hurts to have an extra set of wheels, just in case.

i kept mines just incast i sell my wheels i got something to use...or if i get tired of my volks ill just snap on my stocks..hahaa:confused:

[SiR_d1]

I sold my stocks to help pay for my rims:D
I plan on buying winter tires though

[bratkat64]

I have mine b/c I dont have tires on my 17s that I've had for a few months now. Having no job sucks. Although I might have one soon! = )

I might keep mine for the following reasons (thanks to friends):

1. I'm in college and they won't get jacked. Who wants OEMs?
2. Racing, Tray Sliding, Drifting - need I say more.
3. Daily driving in GA tears at ones rims & tires b/c of the constant construction going on everywhere.
4. People are less likely to approach my car with intent to break in since my car has that 99% stock feel (rims are a dead giveaway that a car has some mods).

We'll see how logical I am when I get tires. I'm sure I'll do that whole "they're so pretty!" thing and never take them off again. ^_^

i kept mine but i through them on my project hatch.:) had to get new rubbers th o.. stocker sukass

[oldschoolimport]

I am backward, I found a good deal on tires and got them while I decide on wheels. but I will keep them and add them to the stock wheel collection. 4 sets and counting.:D

come in handy for getting parts/project cars and when I feel like doing burnouts in front of my asshole neighbors house, it gives me something to use.:mad:

well, once the yokos wear out, r-compound will be going on the oz wheels, and the stock wheels will get some cheap rubber to endure the daily commute. And i'll throw on the r-compound for when it's time to have some fun. :D

stock wheels for winter(with Nokian snow tires)

[r3p00c]

i just bought my 17s last night... gonna put my stock wheels on ebay. the way i see it... i didn't screw up my stock wheels this past winter, so i don't see a problem with other wheels. and if i want to go back to stock, its pretty easy to find a set of used oem wheels on ebay again.

[Hatch, Si Hatch]

I kept my stockies and put Azenis on them for auto-x.

[Slapshot25]

I kept the stock for trade-in reasons. I live in Florida so I don't worry about winter. Also good for any emergencys...:D

[FailureToStop]

I kept them and put them on my ED. It lifted the car at least 1".

Now I got a lifted 4x2 hatchback to tool around the dirt roads that I frequent. Strangely enough it now actually feels faster (straight line) than it did with the stock 14" steelies even though it is a lot taller.

And when it comes to trading in the EP, I can just swap the OEM wheels back on.

You can actually delete your own multipule posts. It's in the lower right hand corner next to "quote".

i never got a chance to rock stock

[dj addicted]

I still have mine and I was thinking about making a coffee table out of them.:D

[blackyEP3]

I am keeping my stock wheels for winter. I'd sell them but for some wacky reason, people in Toronto won't pay more then $450 Canadian for the rim/tire!

:(

But then its probably for the better anyway. I am going to try to sell the cursed MVX4s once I mount the snow tires!

I've seen that before. Not a bad idea.

[myeverlovinsir]

Well I haven't been on here in quite some time. Now in Indy. Anywho,
I HAD to put on the stockies last night after blowing a front right
tire going over a short median and ripping a hole out of the sidewall.
Long story short the stockies are on for the winter time now and
am glad to have kept them.:cool:

[VIZHUNZ02SI]

i still have mines but im planin on selling them for 350. to local buyers

[dj addicted]

seriously.. get 8 large bolts with nuts and then stack two of them on top of each other...have 4 bolt go through the lug holes and bolt underneath the bottom wheel.. then somehow mount a sheet of plexiglass on top... since glass would break easy because Im a cluts(spelling).
