Default Sell the Fuchs separately?

Hi guys. Sadly, the time has come for me to sell the 944. Baby #1 is on the way and I need to make some space in the garage for something safer and more practical. Besides, I've come to the sad realization that my car is deteriorating faster than I have time to fix it. Time to let it go to someone who can take care of it better than I can.

Anyway, my question to you is this: Should I sell the car with the Fuchs or sell them separately and throw some cookie cutters on it?

Important background info: The tires on the Fuchs are probably 10 years old and one is starting to show signs of dry rot. The Fuchs themselves are in decent shape, but the paint is pretty worn. No curb rash though. The car itself is in decent mechanical shape but pretty sad cosmetic shape.

Thoughts? Should I sell the Fuchs separately and sell the car with cheaper wheels and newer tires, or sell the car as-is?

Remove the wheels and take some pictures (including the insides) so people can get an idea on condition. May be worth selling separate.

It really depends on what you think you could get for the fuchs separately vs the cost of some cookie cutters and tires. What is your asking price for the fuchs and are they 15 or 16?

I would say it would depend on how easily you can get your hands on some cheap cookie cutters or phone dials, and also how much time and effort you want to put into the sale.

One way isn't better than the other, the car is worth more with Fuchs on it, and a prospective buyer probably knows that.
