Default 18" Azzurro's Keep em or sell em

Got the AU3 pursuit 250 which came factory optioned with the 18" Azzurro wheels and has a Tickford fitted option plate under the bonnet to indicate this.
I have put some new 18's on it to change the look as I was tired of the old look but I would like your opinions.
Should I keep the Azzurro's or should I sell them would they add any resale or not if I decided to sell later down the track.

Id keep them and sell them on the car when you sell it.

I would guess that you would probably get more for the rims if you sold them seperately, that said though someone that might buy your car later down the track may be a puritan and want the original rims that came with the car.
Who knows you might get bored with the new rims too and want to sell them off
to fund a new set and having the azzurro's would be handy to use when trying to get the rest of the cash to fund new rims.
I suggest that you keep them you might not get any more money for your car if you sell it with them on but you might find it easier to sell it with them on .
Just my opinion though others probably have a different take on the matter

u'll get more for you're new rims than you would your stock ones ... so when it comes time to sell the car sell your new rims sepratly and put the originals back onto the car!

I'd be interested in buying them only because of how nice they are.
Hmmm Sell them or keep them?

Keep them mate. They're hard to get and when people buy cars like yours they generally want them original.

Keep the wheels. And in my opinion NEVER EVER sell the car. But if you decide to sell the car let me know. I'll buy it

I've sold lots of nice cars over the years. Some even worth big money now like GT's and coupes but this one my missus laughs at me because one day I'm selling it next year and the next day I'm keeping it. The standing joke is that I've had more cars than hot dinners. I get bored with them. Four years is one of the longest periods I tend to kepp them for but who knows this may be an exception. Check again tomorrow (ha ha)

And that ones a non Brembo version. The more sort after ones are your style. They fit Brembos. But you should keep them as the majority have said before me. I have taken mine off my TE but still keep them for the future.

Be more than likely in about ten months or so if I decide to move on. You will more than likely have something else to show off in till then.
