HOLD ON TO THEM!!! You'll never know when a set of extra wheels will come in handy. If you coming into the rainy season and want to drive your car, you may want to put cheap all-seasons on the wagon wheels and not drive on max-performance tires in the rain. Also, if you have expensive tires, you may not what to have them on all the time.

In my opinion, there's a LOT of reason to hold on to them, and only 2 to get rid of them:
Money and space.

Sold them to a person driving an old chevy truck. Mine were chrome. If they had been painted I would have saved two for Drag Radials.

Hang them on the wall of your garage or man room.

I may be able to come to IN. If you sell them on craigslist, good luck with sales.
OK, here they are! $50 less than on craigslist.

Friends neighbor wanted them so I gave them to him. Already have a set of Ronal LZ-VT wheels sitting around. Don't need those Wagon Wheels sitting around as well.

If you own 4 boats, tie a rope to one for each boat- well, you get the idea!

Mine are downstairs in boxes in the cellar.
They have been listed on our club website for 2 years with no bites on them.

Does make a good wheel for track use, or can be used if you happen to drive the car in the winter, or sell them to someone that likes the looks of the wagon wheels.

Sold them and the car that they were attached to. Wish I could have kept them, and the car that went with them.
There is never enough garage space.

Got $350 (wheels, tires, sensors) for mine 6 years ago from a guy who destroyed his front 2 in a construction site. Had to deliver them.

I agree. I have every part I've taken off mine all boxed up. Tomorrow I'm finally putting on my GHL exhaust and the ratty old exhaust system will go in a box along with the air intake, seats, wagon wheels, floor mats, hoodliner and all the other crap I've taken off it.

Sold mine to another C5 owner via C's list, he had a 98 wanted chrome but did not want newer style C5 rims, you'd be suprised there are people that like this style of rim... heck I did for years...
