    I just got some new wheels for my 2008 Tundra and before I go to get Tires mounted on them I was wondering if it is a good idea to save the Old Steel Wheels or just get rid of them. Any Suggestions, experiences. Anyone wish they had not just got rid of them or ???

    You could use them for a set of winter tires if you have a need for that.

    The market isn't very high for them, and they won't bring much money. I kept mine because the tires they were mounted on weren't completely worn out yet and would work well for spares. My tires are a little bigger than stock, and got no bites on selling them. I also figured if I got rid of my truck, I would most likely put them back on and keep my good wheels.

    This is a Great Point...
    There are Very Few of the Wheels I bought out there so it would make Great sense to pull them off the Truck before selling it and selling them separate !!!
    Thanks everybody for all the Great Input...
    Below are the Wheels I will be putting on:
