this is what i was thinking. when i have the funds for a different set of rims and tires i would keep the original set for spares incase i dont have the funds to get new tires for the new rims. not just that i would use one of the original rims as a spare tire as in a full size rim incase of a flat.i just wanted to get some ideas and some opinions if it was a good idea or just some opinions
