What do you do with your stock wheels?
I see a TON of people on this forum replacing their stock wheels. What exactly do you do with them?
I ask as I want to get a pair of rear of OEM wheels for my '08 G37S (I have the thin spoke 19" https://www.myg37.com/forums/attachm...-4-on-wall.jpg). I would be willing to buy a whole set from someone if it was affordable enough.
Thanks for any help/advise!

I drive on mine because I can't afford to replace them yet. They have some pretty nasty curb rash, and are ugly as sin despite my rigorous cleaning efforts due to some strange, unknown substance that has stained them. It makes me sad every time I look at them, but such are the pitfalls of buying used.

I’m sure for the most part these OEM rims sit in a garage or storage place collecting dust over the years until a decision is made to throw them out.
But I remember a while back that some guy over at the Lexus IS forum was asking for G37 Coupe wheels to replace his IS250 OEM wheels. That suggests a trade program of some sort. Instead of forking out big bucks for aftermarket rims, modders could just trade with someone who has a different car who doesn’t like his OEM rims. This could be a good online business for someone. After all, the grass is often greener on the other side for many car enthusiasts.

yeah, those "No Touch" wheel cleaners are bad news... you have to get it off almost immediately or it will burn the wheels - no bueno. Unfortunately my dealer wants to wash my car even when I tell them not to....pisses me off
