Sup guys! This confused brother needs help =). I am getting the linea corse lc818 satin black soon with all season tires. I am debating if I should sell my stock 18' lobster claw rims or keep them. During the winter, I do not go out as much and if I do go out, I give my car/rims a quick wash. Should I keep the 18inch wheels and swap them during winter or sell them and keep the LC818 on during both summer/winter?

What kind of tires are you currently running on the 18" lobster claws?

Since you will be running on all season, I think you should get rid off them only if they sell over $600+

Of course, if you don't need the money, just keep them.

I say keep them so that if you decide to sell you LC later on. You'll have your stock. Maybe it just me but my Weds rim don't touch snow or salt. I rock my stock for the winter time on the northeast.

I have 20's with all seasons on them and I'm experimenting this winter, leaving them on all winter and seeing how bad they get beat.

lol okay, thanks for the replies guys! I want to hear more feedbacks! The tires on the stock are bridgestone potenzos? I was wondering since sewell sells them for $1,700, what will be a good price to sell? My rims are new with no marks or curb rashes. I was thinking 1,300-1,200 for rims+tires? If it is to much then let me know, I am not a good seller =P.

Keep the stocks. I have all season for my T1S but I still switch to my stocks during winter. Trust me on this, I left my T1S on till late december and the road salt caused a lot of damages to the lip. Spent hours polishing them back up last week but still not as good as before.. Its quite a bit of money investing in aftermarket rims so spend the time to cherish them .. Besides, you save on tread since you constantly switch and two different looks every year..


Just to give you a better idea. This was in 2009 winter and 2010 winter was a lot more worst. There's black spots all over it but P21S will do the trick . But just realized your LC818 is black and no lip so maybe damage wont be as bad .

keep your stock rims with a winter tire setup, the LC with summer tires, ALSO you can always put the stock rims back on should you have to goto the stealership, you DO NOT WANT to take your car there with rims if you can help it...

It's ALWAYS a good idea to keep your stocks. You never know when your going to need them. That's all I gota say.

As I have 17" winter rims, and will buy 17' summer rims soon, I plan on dumping my 18's along with nearly new Goodyear F1 A/S (truly miserable tires). Gonna be hard for me to sell knowing what a miserable ride they provide unless I lie!

Too bad they (the rims) don't command any real dollars on fleabay or Craigslist....
