Default worth keeping OEM wheels?

Ive been trying to clear out my storage unit to save on monthly bills..and one of the bigger things in there are my OEM AP1 wheels. I used to keep em around with the excuse "for racing" but im not really into that anymore (hell I barely drive my s2k at all).. My excuse since has been "to add value if I sell the car" aside from a new head unit the car is pretty much 100% stock and has low miles (2003 with about 35k-ish) so it seems to be worth it to keep the OEM wheels around for that reason. But is it really worth it?? I have a few ppl interested in buying them right now..

Since you asked for opinions....

If the value they add to the resale of the vehicle does not exceed what you are spending to store them, then you should seriously consider getting rid of them.

Unless you are going to sell the car within the next year or so, I would get rid of them. If you wanted wheels for "racing", such as going to the track or autocross, you are better with a 17" set up anyways.

I think you can only get like $200-350 for it with tires right? Idk i would keep them if they have good tires on them. you never know. But the tires are whatever and you only have a year left on them, then just sell it.

Good "free" extra to the buyer if you sell.

Keep 'em

if the potential buyer doesn't like your current wheels, OEMs are best for resale.

keep them just incase you get a flat. or as mentioned above its the original wheels from the car. i would keep it for authenticity when it comes time to sell. stock as possible is best

I'm keeping mine, I hope to keep my S long enough to put antique plates on it and I want to be able to put the OEM wheels on in good shape if I were to show the car, etc.

So they are tucked away in my attic for safe keeping.
