Any body here keep on hand an extra set of wheels/tires for their car? I mean OEM or aftermarket, 17's or 18's. I have let a few sets slip though my hands as of late and I'm thinking about buying a few different sets just to have and put on the car whenever I want, if and when I can find good deals on them.

A local guy had a mint set of OEM wheels with good tires for 600 bucks and a few months ago another guy had a cheap set of mint AFS 18's with tires. Seems like mint wheels are getting harder to come by.

I like the stock style wheels the best of any I think and having them in different sizes and offsets would be good, especially for somebody like me that has a stock car.

what you guys think?

i have my stock wheels plus two spare sets plus a 4th being built as we speak. i keep them all and may or may not use any of them again. i will always keep the stock ones though. probably should sell the 2 sets that are not on my car now because I will never use them again.

I have 4 extra machined oem wheels mounted on drag radials stacked up in my living room right now. So I'd say, do it!

I put Roush wheels on my coupe and put my factory wheels and tires in my shed. My Vert came with aftermarket wheels and I purchased a set of OEM wheels for it as I know they will be hard to get one day. I put the OEM wheels on my vert for now. Planned on selling the aftermarket wheels, but decided to keep them. So, I have one set of OEM and one set of aftermarket for BOTH my Cobra's :D.

And if I had room I would buy more stock replacement parts to keep on hand too (i.e. fog lights, headlights, belts, hoses, HE pump, interior knobs and switches) and anything else I could get my hands on LOL.

On my first terminator I pulled off the silver/machined stocks in favor of going chrome. Sold the car with the chrome wheels. Had no intentions of buying another but regret set in about a year later and I ended up shopping again. Bought current car with silver stocks on front and afs 10.5" reps on the back plus it came with the 2 stock rears. So now I have a total of 6 - 17 x 9's stacked up in the shop.

I have a set of stock chrome 17x9's, CCW Classic drag pack 17/16, and CCW Classics in 18/18. Every now and then I catch myself looking for more wheels and I really don't know why considering I only use the drag pack.

I’ve always kept a spare set just in case. The thought of selling them has come up but you never know if you need them.

For those of you with rooms of extra wheels, I would like you to send a set of 17×9 front, and 17×10.5 rears my way. My convertible needs more rubber on the road.
