Default Should I keep my original wheels?

I'm uprating the original 16-inch flats with some 18 inch Carerra III's.

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth bagging and keeping the originals (which are in near-perfect condition), or if I should offer them cheap (shod with half-used PSC's) to save space in the garage...

Thoughts?

Keep the tires on them, bag them, and stack on sides somewhere that they won't get damp a good plan?

If and when you sell the S-4 it has about the same value with stock wheels and maybe more to some as it is original . At that time you can sell the Carrera III wheels.

Just clean them well and stack them someplace out of the way.
No reason to bag them unless you want to take care of the tires for like track events or autocross.

Ditch 'em and save the garage space for something worth storing.

If and when you sell the car I highly doubt you'll go to the trouble of trying to sell the wheels separately.

I upgraded to 18" Carrera 5-spokes and couldn't get rid of the original 17" Cup wheels fast enough.

I agree with Randy. I have a set of 16x8 (I think that's the size) dish wheels in my garage attic. Been there for 3 years now. They just take up space (and capital).
