i HAD rims, and i am damn sure glad i kept em. people change their minds on what rims they want to go with. and i decided i didnt like my rims and had my stocks sitting right there ready to go back on. plus, i got the rim protection warranty so if anything ever gets road rashed or curbed on em Honda has to fix it for free or replace it.

You might want to check. It's my understanding that this covers aftermarket wheels as well. Just have to be under $2500 total. I can't remember what my paperwork said, but its something like that.

I keep them because when you go to sell the car etc its always a good point to have the oem wheels.

I keep mine in large garbage bags, out in the shed. When the weather starts getting wet again, I will swap them back on.

why would you guys want heavier stock wheels for the track?

I'm thinking about using them for just the winter/snow and put winter tires on them.

incase your new tires wear out fast due to camber issues, slap on the stockers until you get some money for a camber kit and new tires

back up/spare

When the car is first released oem rims are in high demand.
( i sold my stocks for 550+ without rubber)

thats when you sell

when the car is ready to be traded in or sold

they can be repurchased for practically nothing.
(200ish now without tires)

....but they're SOOOOO heavy

Function OVER form! Stockers are my daily drivers and i spent the money on lighter rims for racing. I think the stock rims look great on the car, so havent bothered with changing those.

I'm going to polish mine and put them back on my car. So I can refinish my aftermarket wheels.

I keep em. I also have a 2002 Nissan Sentra, and on that car each stock rim is about $499.00 from the dealer. JUST ONE RIM. Its very extremely gay. But stock rims cost a fortune. Needless to say, they got left at a tire and wheel shop and where mysteriously "missing" after 2 weeks.

Keep em. Don't sell em. Better to have them as back ups just in case... Yuno you blow all 4 tires at the same time.... It could happen.

I don't think I'd ever get rid of my OEM wheels. It's always nice to have them just in case.

I kept mine in the basement in case something happens to my other ones.
