I'm going to replace my stock 16" rims with 18" bullitts but my quesiton is what can I do with my stocks? I would love to sell them but I know nobody is going to buy stock 16" mustang wheels....... maybe I could sell them dirt cheap. If you got rid of your stock 16 inchers, please tell me what you did with them and if you sold htem, for how much. I would be willing to sell them to a tire/wheel shop too, do you know of any chain stores that pay money for these things?

If you buy your wheels from just tires they take trade in values o_O

Well I'm not looking to spend $1200 on my bullitts. I'm hoping to find htem used for around $400-$600.

Why don't you try an Ebay listing. If you don't want to do it yourself, there is probably a service somewhere near you (for example in the Naperville, IL area there is www.simplysoldstore.com ) These places will take them, handle the listing in Ebay and ship them

I would just keep them... in about 20 years they will be worth quite a bit to somebody that wants to put stock rims back on one that somebody replaced.
