if you are trying to raise the value of an FC then you would not do well as a stock broker.

The only way to raise the value of an FC is to part it out

there was a little irony/sarcasm in my post as well.

sad but true most FCs are worth their weight at the scrap metal facility...

You're trying to raise the value of your FC by buying CHEAP rims?

wheels DO NOT raise the value of a car, unless you can find some smuck to fall for it.

get it detailed and leave it stock if you want to keep its value. Buyers love cars that they perceive to be completely mint.

Spray painting a terd gold does not make it valuable. The value is in the condition of the car and engine. However if you are trying to sell it in certain neighborhoods big blingin rims will help it sell faster but not for more unless you find an idiot.
