Post What did you do with your stock wheels?

I'm just curious as to what everyone did with their stock rims and tires after upgrading to other rims. Mine are just sitting in the garage wasting space and wasting away. What other cars does these rims fit that I can maybe sell these to? (Accord v6, odessey, old legend? others?)

They make great snow wheels for a CL-S. Trying asking on that board if anyone is interested.

I put my stocks on in the winter b/c in the bay area all the rain eats up the roads and creates some huge potholes. I would suggest never selling them b/c there will come a time when you will need them...

Right now my stock rims are lying on my basement floor. But I am about to put my stock rims back on for the winter because I don't want to mess up my new 17" Giovanna rims. I believe people keep their stock rims so they can put them on for the winter instead of messing up their other more expensive rims. But since you have the CL-S rims, they are stock also. So I guess you can get rid of your TL rims. Might as well get some money for them to get other things.

I have my stock rims on for the winter, plus I bent my BBS RX's.

Living near NYC sucks, the roads are terrible. Does anyone know how much it costs to get them bent back. I know it's not that good to do, but I dont' feel like buying new ones yet.

I knew there was yet another use for Hefty bags! =)

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I forget that winter is an issue in a good part of the country. Need to move back to Colorado for awhile to remind me I guess. If anyone needs a set of "winter wheels" feel free to let me know. Otherwise, they will just continue to take up space.
