Default What to do with takeoff wheels and tires?

I replaced the wheels and tires that came on my truck at the time of purchase.

They are the 20" premium brushed aluminum wheels and the Pirelli Scorpion ATR's 275/55/20 with less than 500 miles on them. See pic below.

Should I sell them as a set?
Part out the wheels and tires and sell seperate?
Sell online?
Offer them back to the dealership?
Take to a salvage yard?
Hold on to them for some reason?

Looking for suggestions or advice from anyone that has switched out their wheels and tires already.

Thanks,

I'd hold on to them. Or take off the tires and sell the tires for 400 bucks.

Should I sell them as a set? Best bet
Part out the wheels and tires and sell seperate? Will take longer
Sell online? May take awhile, then you are dealing with shipping.
Offer them back to the dealership? NOOOOOO!
Take to a salvage yard? If you want to give them away, going rate of aluminum you will be lucky to get $50 for set.
Hold on to them for some reason? If you do not sell this is best option and unload your aftermarket wheels for $$$.

Looking for suggestions or advice from anyone that has switched out their wells and tires already.

Stock wheels are worth more than aftermarkets. You can get pretty good money for them online. I like to keep all stock parts so it's a complete truck when I go to sell.

I also kept my stock wheels for winter.

+1. Sell in your area so you don't have to mess with shipping. You could get any easy 1200.

I sold my 20" FX4 appearance pkg black rims as I was showing my showing new rims to my buddy at local gun store. A young guy overheard us and ask if I wanted to sell my old ones. They were still in the back of my truck and he had a fistful of cash so a deal was done. Sometime a guy just is at the right place at right time. My plan was to use kijijj and hopefully find a local buyer.

I'd hold on to them. When you sell it or trade it in you'll have new wheels and tires to put on it and you can sell the take-offs.
