Default SHOULD I OR NOT?

I just ordered a set of replica chrome GT-500 wheels and tires for my 07. The question is should I sell my OEM rims and tires or stuff them into the garage with the other take off parts from my GT. If I do sell what would be a good asking price for the set of 4 with tires that have 2950 miles on them. Plenty of rubber cause I rarely burn out? They are light silver with the polished lip. 235-55-17 P Zero Nero.

Keep them for winter use, if you drive year round.

I bought the same rims. I sold the stockers for $450, and they now reside on a dodge van. I was suprised that they fit. My stockers only had 150 mi on them , and it took one day to sell at that price.

I think I may hold on to the stocks for track days even though I dont know how many times I will actually go. Just for the record my buying exp. with discount tire direct was impressive. 4 rims in chrome 4 tires nitto nt555's new chrome lugs, mounted and ballenced shipped to my house for 1480.00 flat. I priced the same set down here where I live and the best anyone could do was 2150.00
