DPE SP-C16 on KW V2's

Finally finished refinishing and resizing these wheels from an e60 owner. Had to buy new lips and barrels, only thing I could salvage were the faces and front barrels, because of the e60's offsets. Got them pc-ed gloss black lips and semi-gloss faces. Front lips, 2.5, rear's 3.5. Semi/shallow concave on both front and back.

20 x 8.5 et 19 26.4 lbs 255/35/20
20 x 10 et 35 27.7 lbs 285/30/20

I think those are the right offsets. I'll have to double check later.

So the million dollar question is, do I keep them. They are far the most aggressive wheels I have, and I do like to drive pretty spirited. I had the rears rub just the slightest on bumps. I did have the old tires/wheels in the back as well. I could always adjust the coils and raise it too.

It's a different style for me. I've always had monoblock 7 spoke wheels. So a 8 spoke, semiconcave wheel with a lip has a little bit of getting used to.

If I decided to sell them, do you guys think I could fetch at least 5K with brand new Hankook tires, TPMS, and pretty much brand new wheels. Let me know. Thanks.
