Question is there a reason not to sell my stock rims?

okay so i bought new rims a few weeks ago and my stock rims and tires have been sitting in my garage ever since. my new rims are 18s so the tires on my stock rims wont fit. I was thinking of selling them. unless there is really a good reason to keep them?

Since you live in FL and don't have the salt issues us northerners have, it's not really necessary to keep your stock rims. Unless you plan to turn your car into a track car and mount slicks on them.

The only other reason I can think of for not selling the stock rims is when you go to sell the car. A lot of people put the stock rims back on the car when they sell it, and keep their "good" rims for their next car. Or sell them separately.

Like the new rims. Look 1000 times better than the stockers!

thanks taz.

buds. yes iknow there is a bit of space above the tires. it looks a little better now cause the tires where 30% flat. and now they are pumped all the way up so its a bit better. but when i get my new tires i am getting bigger tires

I say keep the stockers for when you need tires for your nice rims but don't have the money for them.
