    5.5" deep hearts v 6" deep hearts

    I thought my car was fitted with deep 6 hearts but for the first time in 4 years removed the wheels to fit my new 7R and deep 6 RSR finished wheels (thanks Jens and Harvey) only to discover its fitted with 5.5" deep hearts

    Can I please have some advice on price difference for a sale which after I clean them up I will try to do.

    Are deep 6" more expensive I guess so as they would be more sought after??

    I'm no expert but I know that 5.5" deeps are more valuable than 6" deeps w/hearts.

    I am not an expert either but it's my experience that 5.5's used to be cheaper but these days are about the same as deep 6.

    The 5.5's were only used on 68 so they are more rare than 6's but less desirable, so worth less based on my previous experience.
