re sale value, I need your opinion.

With a proper fender roll most buyers would not even know it was done unless you told them. It all depends on the buyer, you might slightly decrease your potential buyer pool but it would not be a deal breaker for me on an otherwise clean car. It would actually save me the work of doing it myself.

It will definitely limit the number of buyers. When I was shopping I too said no to any car with rolled fenders. There are people who won't care but there are plenty that will. Less buyers means it may take longer to sell and if you can't wait you may have to take less money.

If I were you I would roll a separate set of fenders like you said. That way you can put the originals back on the car when it is time to sell. I personally wouldn't buy a s2k if it had fender modification.

why bother rolling if down the road you plan on selling. leave it be and enjoy it as is. most want a unmolested s. those are hard to come by. I have one modded out the ass and don't plan on selling it. and I have one I just bought completely stock that will stay that way. its my dd. have no intention of selling either one. as said, leave it be and enjoy it.

I sell cars for a living and have never ever had anyone ask about previous fender rolling or trimming until I became a member here. Ive sold all types of cars from s2k's,vettes,coopers, and a prowler here and there besides the average civics and accords I sell daily. If its done properly then who really cares but if its a hack job then expect to turn off a lot of buyers. My fenders are trimmed properly and no one has a clue but either way I get potential buyers on my car weekly when I park it in front of my dealership but im the one that doesn't want to sell lol

Its not that im even planning to sell it, but I understand that some things come up in life where it might not be a practical choice to keep. I see cars on here that have a TON of money put into them much more then I ever would so you think they would never end up selling them but they do, my car is no different you never know what life will throw at you that would make you want to sell it. I think im going to buy a different set of fenders and preserve the original matching vin ones there is a local set for sale on craigslist for 250. Thanks for your input.

I've been reluctant to roll the fenders on my 2008 S2000..... My fenders are actually 100% Virgin BONE STOCK and i feel as though doing "IRREVERSIBLE" damage as to rolling the fenders just to fit wheels that subjectively look better kinda turn me off.... Although i've come to realize stock offsets that are not concave are less desirable, i'll take performance over looks anyday.
I can see the point in rolling the fenders to fit wider wheels/tires for increased performance however ROLLING fenders to fit 17x9.5+ wheels with aggressive offsets just to install less than smaller spec tires is and will always be unacceptable, there is no answer anybody can provide me that would change my mind on that subject.

I'm part of the market segment for whom rolled fenders would raise too many questions about the cars' previous use. ( your explanations will not mean anything to me).
I agree with the above posts, the aesthetic boost of bigger wheels will likely be costly.
Not a theory but a LAW...

I purchased my S2000 earlier this year, and I passed on a better priced car that had a horrible fender rolling job done on it. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a car with properly rolled fenders though. You don't have to be running crazy wide wheels to need to roll the fenders on this car. To me a properly rolled fender shows an owner that cares about their fenders and not destroying them with their wheel/tire.
