What to do with stock wheels?
I am intending to upgrade the wheels immediately upon delivery. Is it advisable to keep the stock wheels? Or if the wheel shop will take a trade, or should I sell them online/privately? Any thoughts?

I have the same dilemma. With the stock wheels being offset, it really limits the type of car that could use them. Otherwise, I could sell them to somebody for a decent price.

keep stock wheels for winter/snow tires. Put your nice rubber on your upgraded wheels. It makes winter tire changing so easy. After fall, remove nice wheels/tires, mount original wheels with snow tires, store nice wheels/tires over winter, Spring comes, winter wheel/tires off, Nice wheels/tires on, already balanced - ready to go. Plus it keeps your good wheels in top condition since they don't get exposed to winter nasty chemicals/aggragate.

.........plus, if you keep it a number of years (10 - 15), when you get ready to sell it it may be worth more in stock condition rather than what looked good to you at the time.

Judging by your guys' locations - I would keep them for snow tires.
Actually, I have a jeep for use for adverse road conditions. My car won't even see the rain. I waited to buy a sports car until I had the money to keep a beater around.
On another board somebody spoke of widening wheels. Is this possible? It doesn't seem feasible with an alluminum wheel, but I know little in the matters of mettalurgy.

If you don't want your stock wheels, sell them privately on here!
Lots of people are going to be looking for wheels for winter or racing tires. Help a fellow Z member out

If you don't want to keep them for winter use put them on EBAY!!!
I cannot believe how many people are willing to buy my junk. It always seems to sell.
And I am sure you know you can put a reserve price on your wheels so you don't have to sell them if you don't get the cash you want.

I always keep my stock ones just in case the aftermarket ones have flat. Then I use them as spares (of course I change all four).
And yeah... I would drive on stock wheels during El Nino. ....Hella deep pot holes hidden under those pool of water.
