Default Whee;s...Toss 'em or keep 'em?

These pictures were taken in 1999 before I had 17" wheels. What you see infront of you are 15x8.5" Dukes of Hazzard's. The 17's have been sold and i'm going to buy true Goodyear Sports Car Special slicks. Question: Should I toss these wheels or buy the 15x10 Centerlines I really want?

I'd try to sell them before tossing them. Or you could keep a couple for spare drag radials or maybe thin slicks.

I've got some 28x9.0x15 ET Drags on two of the wheels right now for fitment purposes. These wheels are damn heavy which is one of the reasons that I may not use them. I guess they would be strong. Oh, and about the 17's. Fellow member Darcy Bast now owns the wheels that I once worked so hard for. The novelty had worn off and they totally belong on his Magnet.
