Probably bog standard 14" Steelies.

Keep them and stick them back on the car when you sell it.

Yep as then you can sell the alloys on and get some money back which is a much better option.

Depends how many mods you done to the new car but its always easier to sell an un modified car.

Agreed, they can also be a bit of a bargaining tool or if they don't want them you can get a few quid back on them (the alloys that is).

Smash the granny out of them and arrange artiscally for a turner prize entry?

ill keep them but finding space to store them is a bigger issue

Or have your snow tyres mounted on them. That way it's only a matter of jacking up a corner at a time to change out once the white stuff falls, instead of having to take a day off work to have some tyre jockey swap rubber on the rims.....

Luckily not many of us over here need snow tyres, sounds like a pain in the ass

Just whack them in the attic

they arent really a requirement over here

 

[lordrobs]

Yeah we just like to think we get proper snow... in reality we normally see a few inches of slush here in blighty

Yeah, I keep forgetting you folks don't end up driving around on a 6 inch thick sheet of ice for 6 months out of the year like I do!!
