Wheel Dilemma
So....I've been trying to sell my "11WRX wheels with no success. 3 are almost perfect, one has been curbed. No offers (probably started with too high a price). What are my options? Spend $$$'s to fix the one, and sell as a set or sell wheels individually. What would you guys do? What are they worth?

I'm just gonna hop on this thread as I'm too lazy to make my own lol.... As for stock wheels for the winter, how are the stock Dunlop tires in snow? I too have a set of 11 wrx wheels with stock tires I'm saving for my winter setup but no experience with them in the snow....
I do have 2 other sets of wheels as well, so in total I got 1 track set, 1 street / daily set, and 1 winter set..
I've always been a wheel ***** so its just something I like to change up every now and then... But for curiosity, what are you going to be rolling on once u sell your stock wheels? My suggestion is pick up a set of wheels u like, roll on them and sell your stock that way, you'll can still be rolling and not on stands... But that's just what I do

+1. either winters or spares. let me guess, upgrading/upsizing wheels? if so, i highly recommend keeping your stock set. what are you going to do when you get a flat? mount your OE rinky dink spare? if u like keeping your diff teeth in tact, i sure hope not. keep your OE set and always have a full size spare. trust me, u wont regret it. LOL.

The dunlops, like all performance tires, suck on the snow. U will have zero grip, can't turn, can't brake. I speak from experience lol. I then fedexd 4 snow tires for next day delivery lol.

ultimately its a stock set (i got my car with a set of 2010's) and eventually traded them since i had no luck selling, like most of the other said definitely either keep them or maybe a paint job and sell them for 4 still a good set of rims glws

How bad is the curbed one? "Almost" perfect isn't perfect, so what does that mean.
This. I keep a fifth spare OE and I've needed it twice so far.
