Ccw resale.
Used price on 505s and 500 ccws. These wheels sell for about $700 a wheel. For a total of about $3000 after tax. How much are they worth used? I have seen guys asking close to what they paid for them. Do they really have that great of resale.

They do! I bought my first two sets used and my last two new, For roughly a $1000 more than they go for used.
They are solid forged Aluminum wheels that are in high demand. So they get top dollar.

You might be able to find a nice set for around $2000-2250 used - they do seem to retain their value.

Depends on how they are cared for too. Some peoples description of perfect is different than others. 
Some of my friends bought some CCW's and required a LOT of work to being them back to life.
Mine are 5 years old and I take extremely good care of them. Not that I plan to sell them, but one day if I do I expect to get a good resale value from them.

Now those are beautiful ^^^ 
, I might actually like mine if they were cared for like that. I had to brasso mine back to life, and they just never looked quite right.

Most people sell them as a set with tires & Tpms.
You've been hunting for a while, almost ready to buy new?

Every 4-6 months I completely remove my wheels. Sand off the scratches, and re-polish completely with Adam's.
Maybe every 2 or so months I just give the lip a little polish with Adam's.
I don't drive my car in the wet though.
I don't use any protectant. They are fully bare aluminum.
