i would keep them 1rst reson is to one of them as a spair tire. the 2nd is if you dont have the funds to put on new ruber on the new rims you could use them as a temp tires as well till you get the funds so you dont have to worry on needing to get tires right away

yeah i'm starting to like that idea. cause my stock tires have like 50-60% of tread on them. and iknow low pro tires cost a lot to replace. although id HATE to go back to the stock rims but it would be nice to have that option if needed

I think black rims on a silver or white car looks really good. But everyone's got their own likes and dislikes.
Keep in mind, seeing them in person is different then in pictures. Black rims don't always look as dark in person as they do in pics.

right i dont have problems with snow here in florida. or atleast i hope not.

yes they look better in person for sure. but i have been asked before why i went with black. black against silver stands out more then chrome does. and plus i have always liked black rims

I would keep them in case you ever sell the car. I personally don't like most of the aftermarket rims these days and would want the stockers if I was buying a car. Just my opinion though.

I use mine for the winter, which you don't have that problem.

If money is an issue and you have a storage space, I would keep them, because honestly you won't get much money for a set of stockers. Maybe $150? Not worth that, if you get a flat and can't afford the new tire at the time, or can't pass inspection for tread, etc.
