Default Sell fanblades or keep them?

I just bought a set of 18 inch ford racing chrome bullitts.
The question is should I keep the 18 inch polished fan blades that came with the car or sell them?
2 of them are brand new from the dealer after they wrecked the originals while working on the car. The 2 originals have 5000 miles on them but you can’t tell them apart fromthe anothers.
Do you think these will be worth keeping some day or should I let them go?

I think you raise a good question here. I also wondered if I should keep the original wheels when I replace mine or store them. Wonder what you will do?

To get the most money when you sell your car put all the stock parts back on and sell the mod parts separately.

I'd have to say keep them. If you have to drive your car in winter, you can always swap them so you won't be driving around in snow / slush / road salt on your new chrome bullits. And, you never know, there might come a time when you need new tires to pass inspection or something, and the spare set can get you by.

Fanblades? You really got to be kidding me! So ugly they look like well.......FANBLADES. Be proud of your Bullits, and sell the blades. Then buy something nice for your car.

I kept my stock 17" Bullits for the winter....but I know that if I decided to sell them, they would be gone in a heart beat.

What's winter?
On the topic, if you have the space to keep them, then I'd do so, if not, sell them. These wheels won't be collector's items in the future IMO(then again you never know), although I doubt a GT will be worth more than the average used car in the future(GTs from the 60's came with many engine/trans/accessory options, so this make for some rare cars, our cars are all pretty much the same, so it won't climb in value as much as one would hope for in 20 years).
I think $500-700 would be fair(if the tires are in great shape) and that could buy something else you'd like for your car. JMHO
