Have you kept them or sold them to a dealer or on ebay?

I keep them. I think that if I ever use my car for a trade-in it will give me more options.

I have mine still, but don't really know why. I could sell them for about the same price that I could buy them, if I ever needed them again. Just taking up space in the garage.

if you have big rims like 19" you may want to keep em just in case you want to go to the track or just want to burn some rubber

I put all-season tires on them and stuck them in the attic for the summer. I guess its time to get them down.

I sold my 18" "G" wheels to a young follow that owned a "Z". Picture of my old wheels on his "Z".
