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

Sat Sep 5 01:27:18 EDT 2020

Looks like a nice matching set of pre-L wheels, presumably 7s and 8s (I think I can distinguish the different widths in some pics). The asking price is unreasonable considering another set sold today for $402....

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.

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.
