Yes, Tin, I get your point... but I have a rare Ford Pinto in my back yard.... does that mean anyone wants it?
I guess what I am saying is that yes, some items that are arder to find are more valuable, but some mid-year changes may be rare, but maybe does not make them more valuable. In the 7 years that I have been restoring rims, only once have I ever seen a guy sell these for more money than any other snowflake out there in the 15x8 pattern. 98% of the time, I pay the same amount for this style rim as I do for the others.
