Help me decide asap.

I took off my factory turbo wheels (2005) and replaced with 2009 turbo wheels. I put the 2005 wheels on Ebay and now I am wondering if I should just save the original wheels in case the next owner is going to want them? Did anyone sell their factory wheels and regret it? thank you
Chris....here is a picture before and after.

If you have the space, keep them...otherwise go ahead and sell them. If you ever need a set, there are always some for sale in case you do need to go back to OEM. Wouldn't worry too much about it...I think the 997 turbo wheels look much better on a 996 than the 997!

Retain the originals in case you bend one or more of the aftermarket rims. Being there before

I sold my oem rims on my C5 vette after I bought HREs. I always regreted selling them. Now I have the oem rims for both my Z06 and my 996TT and am much happier. I say keep them.

If you don't need money and the wheels are in good condition, keep them. These wheels in great condition are getting fewer, and there may eventually be a little demand. You won't lose value on them, and also it's a nice selling point for the car to keep the wheels.

I don't like 997 wheels on the 996 at all. Keep your twists.
