Which wheels are an easier sell?

I plan on getting either 16" RC90 wheels or maybe some Fliks after my car delivery. Which factory wheels would be easier to sell, and thus in my best interest to order? 16" V-spoke or 16" 7-fin? Any ideas?

The 16" 7-fin is much less common, so my guess is they would be easier to sell. Just a guess, though...

I agree, the easiest wheels to sell are those that are rare. If everyone else has them there is little demand. Go with the R90's

if it is a mini cooper s get the stock x-lites.
if it is a mini cooper, get the 15's.

Both the x-lites and the 15's can be sold the racers.
The 15 to autox and the 16 to road racers like me

yup, and if you are selling the wheels anyway, going with a lower cost one will keep you ahead in the long run. The R90's are a tad pricey if i remember correct.

Quality definately helps resale also. I was able to sell my 17" BBS RK's in no time, and at minimal loss. the high quality of BBS holds value, and the same holds true for other high quality wheels. Otherwise, go cheap and save some money.
