Default Help with wheels!

Hi,
I am a first time poster. I bought a 2003 Arctic Silver 996 Cabriolet in April and have been a thrilled/proud owner.
I currently have 3 sets of wheels. I want to solicit opinions on look, value and durability.
I am attaching pictures and would like to hear opinions on which you think should be for summer, winter and sold. (I'd like to sell those that would bring in most money). Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Click the Insert Image icon at the top of the message window.



It helps if you resize your pics before inserting.

All very nice wheels. I'd have a hard time choosing between them.
The Carrera II in the first pic are probably my favourite.

I would run the ones that already mounted and ready to run. Mounting and remounting tires is an easy 100 buck event. That being said, I am biased and like the middle wheels. I have two sets, one summer and one winter.

What are your plans for the "other" sets after you decide?

third set is the style I like most, looks like they need to be refinished. First set looks like they are in the best condition.

Default Thanks. And

- The 'extra set' will go up for sale.
- The 5 spoke OEMS are in best shape.

I guess there is no way of knowing which will be least likely to be damaged by a pot hole?

The first set is a great light weight set to have and keep as-is while the second set is a heavier but made by BBS and a real 2-pc. wheel so if you have the funds to refinish them it would be a great set to keep.

The last is probably the least valuable being a Victor Equipment wheel so it might make a good winter set so if you damage one you can easily replace.

Sorry for the low quality photo attached but it will give you an idea of what you can do.. .

Good Luck,
