Default Should I part out my wheels? 19" Advan RS with Michelin PS2

I'm thinking of selling my car and was wondering what used wheels are generally worth? I paid over $7,000 for them new, I know trading the car in with them would be a complete rip off but what about selling them privately with the car?

Gorgeous looking 996!

I think the wheels look great on a white car.

if you have the origninals put them on the car and sell the wheels separate (you can offer them to the new owner)

Thanks for the comments. I have the factory sport designs that I could put on, that would probably make the most sense.

Those are nice wheels, If I wasn't selling my car I would deffinatly be thinking of putting those on, looks very clean.

I would think with good tire life remaining those should fetch between $2.5-3K used. I'm no expert when it comes to mods though or their resale value, I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Very handsome car BTW.

Great looking wheels! Have always liked the advan RS'

Would definitely recommend putting your stock wheels back on if you have them... unless your buyer truly appreciates them and it either helps with the sale of your car or you're compensated for some of the value ... you may not get 100% but there's value in not having to go through the hassle/effort of selling the wheels separately

If you're trading it in, don't give them the fancy wheels. Give the car to them as bone stock as possible.

Wow, nice looking wheels, and they look so right on that 996.

What sizes and offsets?

Thanks for all the nice posts everyone. Now I don't want to sell it anymore!
Advan made a fitment for a 911 that was hubsentric, accepted a Porsche center cap and used the factory lug nuts, they are also around 21 lbs for 19 inch. Here are the specs from their website. They are available through Vivid Racing in the US.
19x8.5 wheel size, 5x130 bolt pattern and 52mm offset
19x11.0 wheel size, 5x130 bolt pattern and 60mm offset

Not selling? No one would blame you.

Another wheel question for you... Are the front wheels shown on your pictures worn with no spacer?

Well I don't really want to sell, but I need to downsize to just one car. The wheels do not have spacers.

Were you at Langstaff and 400 area, next to Oregano Restaurant, I think in
front of a Pita place? This was a few months ago, and I think we spoke briefly.

What's the other car? As of right now I think you'd be crazy to sell!
