2004 CLE Polished Wheels?
Need advise. I'm thinking of going with aftermarket wheels and tires. 5500 miles on the wheels and tires.
Is there any value in keeping my 2004 CLE wheels or should I just sell them and not worry about it?
Thanks,

I would say it depends on 1) whether you have room to store the wheels, and 2) what aftermarket wheels you're looking to get.
It's not bad to have a spare set available, but if you don't think you'd use the OEMs, sell the tires but keep the wheels. The tires will still go bad over time, even if they're not being used, so there is no use in trying to store them.
As to the aftermarkets, if you're thinking of getting big buck wheels, you may want to be able to put the OEMs back on if/when you sell the car, especially if you're contemplating a trade, as you will get little extra for them from a dealer. Then you can simply sell the aftermarket rims to someone else.
