Should I keep my stock wheels?

I haven't quite decided on which, but I'm gonna break down and get some new wheels. Should I keep my stock wheels/tires, or sell them? They are off an 03 and the tires are about 50%. I don't exactly need the money but I don't really see myself using them anytime soon once I get the new wheels, and more importantly, I don't really have anywhere to store them. How much would I expect to get for a set of stock 03 wheels with 50% tires?

If u get other wheels like a 19" wheel, u should lower it at the same time or lower the car first or it will look like a 4x4.....

Just my opinion.....

keep the wheels - you can't get anywhere near what they're worth and when you sell the car you can pull the wheels and use them on the next Porsche

Keep them. If you decide to go to a Track Day, beat up the tires on your stock rims rather than the good rubber on your 19's.

If you decided to use a dedicated track tire, an 18" wheel is the way to go. More choices....

keep the wheels for all of the above reasons. If you really have no where to store them, clean and wax them, get a glass table top with rubber picture bumpers between the wheels and glass and stack front on rear paired and turn it into a coffee table.

never hurt to keep the old wheel. in case something happened to ur new wheel always have back up. also, the $ u'll get for ur used wheel is not worth it.
