Juz got 20's, should i see oem 18's?
 

Hey everybody,

I got some 215 style 20" reps for my x5 with all seasons and I am wondering if I should sell my original OEM 18"s or keep them and when i sell my car in the future, sell them as part of the car. What are some of your experiences in selling your car with reps? Appreciate your input.

Thanks.

Do you ever get snow in Boston? If you do i would keep the 18s

I agree. I put wintertires on the 18's. We do not get a lot of snow over here (maybe 1 week a year) but in cold weather and harsh rains they work very well too..

i dont plan on using them for the winter as I dont want to keep swapping tires and that is the reason why i invested in Nokian WRG2's to use all year round. I'm more concerned about the resell value of the car itself when I do eventually sell it.

Suppose it depends on who you are selling it to. I wouldn't buy an x5 with ANY kind of 20s on personally but the fact the rims were non genuine ones wouldn't put me off if they were good quality.

^ agree with London Lad, some buyers might be picky and say they only want OEM wheels regardless of diameter.

I agree with Phattbam.. I wouldn't buy a car without the OEM wheels..

You should keep your 18's in case you ever sell/trade it.

You can get away with all seasons in Boston - I use my 19"s for this (have 21's for the summer). The issue is tire width, stopping distance and road quality. You'll probably find it a little slippery with 20's when it is cold and slushy.

Although it's a little work to switch, as long as they are already mounted, it really isn't much work or cost to switch winter/summer.
