What should I do?
I took off my CL-S wheels for the winter because I had the summer tires on them on the car and with the winter snow weather here in NY 
it was real worth taking them off this winter , so I have them sitting in my friends shop between two of his garage bays one on top of another. He called me on sunday and said this kid with a Honda Accord saw them and wants them, he told the kid $1,000 with the tires(5000 miles on them..look at sig for details on them). I have 5 CLS wheels and 5 tires, one tire which is new. I think i'll probably get it from the kid so my dilemma is this: do I pocket the money and keep my 16's until I sell my car? I'll probably trade it in and get the next gen Lexus GS when it comes out some time next year. I hate the stock Michelin's, though...Other thought, get the ATP S5's in 17" from Tire Rack's package deal(easier to sell separately when I sell the car). So what do ya think?

honestly shoof, if I were you, I'd keep the rims because they look real nice!.... perhaps you're just tired of lookin at them.
Well in any chance that you do decide to sell it, let me know before hand... I maybe able to take em off of your hands!

I would say sell the rims and just keep the money.
A couple questions though:
1. Are you going to have the TL for at least another year? If so it might be good to get the new rims for a change of flavor instead of just throwing the stock rims back on.
2. If you got the rims from tirerack, would you be able to recover all of the money you would spend on them if you sold them once you got rid of the TL? If not, then it may not be worth it to get new rims and just keep the stock rims on.
