Should I Keep the 2nd Set of 87 Wheels

Used to run dedicated summers. Dual set's of 87s.

Fast forward. Been meaning to sell the X. Have not gotten around to deciding on a replacement. Have a set of All Seasons on it right now.

I have had 1 Wheel I had to replace just due to hitting a pretty nasty pothole unseen.

I know 87's are a rare find. Especially ~mint~ ones .
Moneys not the issue. I just want some real estate back on the space the wheels take up.

Will I regret selling them ?

No you shouldn't. I'll PM you my address to send them to
On a more serious note, you're going to replace the X5 eventually right? One set of wheels on it is good enough until you replace the X5. Look like you are not going to keep it for long, so selling the 2nd set now seems like a good idea.

You have 2 sets of staggered 87s? If so I think you should be able to part with just 1

I'd keep them and use them to close the deal in your future sale of the X????

GIO -

Interesting POV.
It never did dawn on me to use the 2nd set as a selling point....
As a matter of fact, with half intent of possibly selling them, hence I swapped the summer tars to All Seasons...Figuring AS was a easier sell to a prospective buyer.

2 things to consider here

1. you will regret selling them IF you plan to get another 4.6 if not then sell them (thats coming from a hoarder of car parts for cars I no longer own anymore).

2. not many folks will pay you what theyre worth in the context of the deal as a whole you will get a much better price if you try to sell them separately. If you do plan to sell and others staking their claim ahead of me choose to pass I'd be happy to entertain a purchase.

Just my .02

Couple more mumblings.
IF I should ever get hit another pothole etc - I would need a replacement.
As per the other response, 87's *mint* are not a dime a dozen....
I would need 20"s regardless to clear the BBK - aka, it's not a straight swap to ~any~ wheel should I need to...
