I got a 2nd set of wheels/tires to flip. Both are factory stuff with ok tires. I’m trying to decide which to keep. I put both on FB and got an ok offer for current wheels. I have 2 sets for another car as well. So I have a dozen wheels taking up space. Do you go by gut feel? Or by figuring out what you might regret in the future?

Car came with set #1.
I got set #2 and put them on.
So, I figure that means I like set #2 more.
So I sold set #1.
Set #2 tires are 2 yrs newer also.
So there is that.

A friend gave me a set of blizzak tires. But I don’t want to screw around mounting them. I need 2 sets of wheels.

Sold blizzaks. Got 3 wheels/tires. I did find 1 at local used parts outfit. No tire. Seems easier to sell a set of 4 at end of day. Or, at least be able to use them.

I found a 08 at junkyard with 2 alloy wheels I did not recognize. Both had matching tire size compared to the (3) wheel set. The wheels were “on” the vehicle so bolt pattern is obviously close. Maybe they are 5x114.3? I did a search online for wheels but no luck for “brand”.
Tire is 235/50/18 which is ok. I prefer a 235/55 size
Wheel/tire was $18. I could always dismount tire and get the 4th matching wheel I really want.
