CL-S Wheel Dilema

Just bought a beautiful new set of '01 OEM CL-S rims to replace my gouged '01 OEM CL-S rims. Two are scratched / gouged and the other two are just plain scary. What to do with the old, ugly set?!

> Mount all four with snows and keep as fulltime winter set-up
> Mount best two with snows and * attempt * to sell the ugly two
> Mount ugly two with snows and * attempt * to sell the less ugly two
> Screw snows and * attempt * to sell all four
> Store them for a long, long time just in case and then throw them away!

First, is it reasonable to only mount two snows instead of all four? Don't really need snows, but they would allow me to mount more performance oriented summer rubber.

Second, is there even a market for scratched / gouged and ugly CL-S rims? I really wonder if the shipping would be more than they're worth?!

Bottom line - think they'll be more valuable to keep around than hassle with shipping them?

I've been toying with same delima (minus the snow). It would cost ~$400 to fix all four tires to look like new and then they would only sell for $400. In the end it just doesn't seem worth it.

I don't know what to decide but I know this much, DO NOT PUT THE PERFECT ONES ON!!!! I honestly would buy some inexpensive aftermarkets with a good lip and save the Acura for resale/trade in.
