[DeTomaso] A set of original wheel really cheap on ebay

Sat Sep 5 00:24:09 EDT 2020

Speaking of wheels...  How about this? Seems like a pretty good deal to me. 
Doesn't list the sizes though.

AJ,

Well, at some point they were separated from the car, and that was a foolish 
decision, by whoever made it. I can understand the appeal of aftermarket 
wheels for some people, but it’s fiscal suicide (or at least a solid kick in 
the nuts) to sell the stock wheels away from the car.  At resale time, 
fitting the stock wheels has been repeatedly shown to raise the value $3-5k, 
as aftermarket wheels are very much a matter of personal taste, and many 
buyers don’t appreciate the choices of others.  Too, there is a growing 
desire for at least the appearance of originality among buyers.

It’s even worse with a GT5 or GT5-S, which will see a $20-30k price hit if 
the stock wheels are missing. The one that sold most recently at auction for 
only $120k wore crappy Hall wheels.  The fine print said the stock wheels 
were included, but they were not pictured. Had somebody taken an hour to 
swap the tires onto the stock wheels, and thrown the Hall wheels into the 
recycling bin, the selling price would undoubtedly have been much higher.
