i was wondering if i should put stocks back on or just leave saleens on...more work to swap, duhhh

i have a garage, but its full of Hurricane relief stuff, my dad goes down couple times a year to drop stuff off...building bridges fund or somthing. Its full of dipers right now...not the Depends kind! But there is still a post open...should i take it or leave it for mom or dad??

like i said, paint is ****y, will it hurt anything else leaving it outside??

I store mine insde in the winter, but I plan on switching back to the stock rims so I don't develop a flat spot on the rubber.
