OEM Wheels/Tires

[RugbyRef]

Hey folks! I have a 2019 GT350 that I replaced the OEM wheels and tires with an after-market set that I am very pleased with. The OEM set is sitting in my garage collecting dust, and I'm wondering if I should just sell them? I don't plan on tracking the car and it's not a DD. My initial thought was to keep them if I ever sold the car down the road (original equipment). I realize I could easily make this decision without consulting the group, but I am interested to see if anyone else may have gone down this path.

The original wheels and tires have ~12 miles on them (dealership to my house). I searched the forum for any similar posts and could not find any threads. Perhaps I entered the wrong parameters?

Thanks!

Well lots of the collector cars from the 60’s and back and perhaps into the early 80’s, having the OEM wheels does matter to a buyer. Not saying the 350 will get that way and it might take a while, but a buyer 20 years from now would probably want the OEM ones. I’d keep them. They are unique to the 350.

I wouldn't unless you sell them for a very good price.

Thank you...much appreciated!

Thanks! I honestly wouldn't know what to ask for them...

You could also mount some all season tires on the original rims if you plan any fall or winter driving.

I say sell them. No reason to store crap you won't use for 3-5 years only to get rid of them after that time anyways.

I usually end up holding on to the stock wheels for a while with the same thoughts but ultimately end up selling them as I don't feel like storing them long term.

I also have my new take off wheels and tires sitting in my garage. My wife walked out there the other day and said "why are these brand new tires bald". You just have to laugh.

HAHAHA! My wife said exactly the same thing! The owner of the dealership where I bought the car is a good friend of ours. When my wife saw the stock tires sitting in the garage, she wanted me to call my buddy and ask him who was using the car before he sold it.

Another in the "sell" camp! Tires have a limited shelf-life - so the value will only go down.

That said, I also have NO IDEA what the value of the rims/tires are. Do the wheels fit on any other vehicles, or are they GT350 specific?

So I have discovered GT350 wheels will fit on base level cars with some alignment.
