Default Value my wheels.....should I swap them?

I have been toying with the idea of changing my wheels again but I am in two minds at the moment, partly it comes down to their value.

So first off, what do you think they are worth? They are in pretty good shape and they were re-sprayed in metallic steel grey a while ago but could probably do with another shot of paint to make them mint again.

They are 18" Rota Formula Mesh, the same style as the S204 with Falken FK452's with at least 3k left on them. One of the other reasons I am unsure about changing them is that they are not sold in the UK anymore and when they were they were only sold in small number so they are rare as hens teeth.

This is what they looked like when new

This is the colour they are now, its not a great picture and doesnt show the colour well but its the best I have


I am thinking about replacing them with 18" BBS CH alloys, am I mad!!??

Ian, as they are 100 PCD you have the Classic and Newage range up to Hawkeye WRX as a possible market. They are rare but will you realise a good return in the current market?

Yes they are quite similar..

If you want my advice I would keep the ones you got because like you said they are a rare wheel, if you was going for something completley different for a change well thats a good reason to change.

But the decision is your budd..[img]/happy-smiley-70.gif[/img]

Ian, as Lee has said both sets of wheel are virtually identical so I don't think it's worth change.

If you were going for something different then yes but otherwise no.

I do love those wheels but I want to stay with a more touring car/tarmac look over the rally look...........................that probably sounds odd since I own an Impreza

I think you could be right to be honest Ian mate and like Ty and Lee have said they are very simular so possibly its just not worth it

Hi Rich, hows it going mate? I haven't seen you around in years! As cool as they are the CE 28's are not really my cup of tea, cheers though
