What to do with factory tires/wheels?
Getting my 22's on this weekend and wondering what I should do with the factory set. My wheel says to keep 'em so I can swap 'em back on when I sell, but it seems like a pain to keep them around for a few years just to make a little extra money when I sell the car. What have you guys done?

Listen to your wife. Keep them around just in case you need them in an emergency.

Keep 'em. Should you decide to go back into the closet, you'd have them available to put back on.

What kinda wheels did you end up getting? I like the look of black wheels maybe just not 22's...

Keep them so when they get stolen, you can have something to ride around on. Seriosly.
I know two guys who got those exact wheels stolen. Then, they put the stockers back on, and no problem. Also, I convinced them to go wheeling with me once the stockers were back. And both loved it so much, they vowed to keep stock rims so they could wheel.

Put them at the end of your road with a sign that says free on it.
