Default What happened to the stock wheels?

This might be a dumb question, but... what did you guys do with your old stock wheels after they were replaced by new aftermarket ones?...Did you have a buyer already for them?...Did they come and pick it up at the garage on the same day the new ones were being put on?....Does a garage charge for a storage fee if your old stock ones are not taken away that same day?... Does the garage also charge for taking off the old tires? (if you wanted only the bare stock wheels)... 'just trying to find out my options and coordinate any pick-up details I need to deal with, before I purchase the new wheels ....thanks!

I dont understand the question. Take them home with you! I still have my stocks just in case I want to sell my rims or any other unforeseeable event.

I sold my OEM wheels.

You can fit 4 wheels in the Z easily for the ride home from the shop.

There is a market for everything. OEM 17 inch wheels are good for snow tires.

I kept them, along with some other stuff which I deemed more valuable then the going price. I use the stock wheels to keep the car on in the winter.

My stock wheels (along with a few others) have been sitting in the basement for almost 7 years.

$ for a U-haul? You can fit all 4 wheels in the car without issue. If you're smart, you'll order your wheels and tires from a vendor and have them shipped directly to your home. Then you can simply change them and store your own wheels, take pictures of them, and sell them. Better yet, I'll bring you a case of beer and pick up the wheels.

I have a few stacks myself (counted 72 last night):

If you have a shop take your wheels off your looking at dismounting fee x4, aluminum handling fee x 4, heavy lifting fee x 4, definatly at least 50$ worth of metallic alloy displacement fees, and if you have tires on those wheels ( which is probable) don't even get me started on the organic bio subservience charges.

Why would you need a friend who owns a shop? Taking off and putting on wheels is one of the easiest thing to do. All you need is a jack and flat ground. Now if you're talking about mounting/dismounting tires, that's a different story.

Seriously man, you're making it sound like getting aftermarket wheels is rocket science. It's not. It's probably the easiest mod to do to a car.
