Get rid of stockers?

Will be getting A-Spec wheels soon and wonder if instead of putting summers on em, put all seasons on em, and then just get a nice 19" wheel for the summer next year? I don't mind the stock wheels THAT MUCH, but they really do look kinda small at times.. I could keep the A-Spec wheels clean enough during the winter, so that's not a problem. Basically I think a piece of me would miss the stock wheels, just enough, it's like a part of the car I'd be getting rid of for good!

Think I'll fall in love with aspec wheels enough to warrant keeping them all year round.. and get other wheels with summer times?

Are the stock alloy wheels THAT bad to some people?

I'd keep them tucked away some where, you never know if you might need them.

I've had my stock wheels/tires in the garage for almost 2 1/2 years. Someday I'll get around to cleaning and selling them, just don't have time right now. My original plan was to put snows on the stockers, but I hate the look so much that I can't stand the idea of putting them on my car for five months of the year.

Maybe another A-Spec set with 18" snow tires.....hmmmmm.....

Moving to tires/wheels etc....

Yeah, I was originally thinkin summers on my aspec wheels... but now I'm thinkin of puttin some good UHPAS tires on em. I'll leave that goin through the winter of 09-10 and then the summer of 2010 I'll think about getting a nice 19" wheel/summer tire combo... but if I don't I can always just keep on truckin on with my aspecs.....

just seems like a waste of my alloy wheels. Would I be able to get a nickel for these things???

I also got tired of the stock wheels & tires I went to the A SPEC wheels & Bridgestone Potenza re960as pole position tires (much better than stock Mich.) Really was enjoying them for all of 11 months before getting hit I switched back to the stockers before they came for the car (totaled) I guess i should also sell them Do they fit 05 thru 09 ?
also how about Ridgeline ?
does anyone know ?

Those stock wheels will fit 05 to 08. It's the standard wheel that comes with all those years.

They should also fit the Odysseys. There have been people that got the Ody Touring package with PAX, and have dePaxed them with RL take offs. There is some Odyssey board that has threads on this from 2007 time frame

YES! But for stockers they are ok. Only redeeming aspect of the stockers would be that many would care less if they get curbed.
