Greetings !!
I dont think that this would be a fair call as you will lose a lot
Reason - You will need both Steel RIM and Wheel cover - which they will charge in almost Rs 2500 to 3000 per Wheel
and in buyback will likely depreciate Alloy Wheels at considerable price.
Like Nexon Diamond Cut Alloy Wheel almost cost Rs 9500 to 10,000 for each Alloy
In event of replacing same they will likely depreciate considerably to extent of 40% to 50% even - means at best will get in rs 5000 to 6000 per Alloy and hub. Considering replacement you will just get benefit at best of Rs 10,000 to 12,000 in overall replacement and will lose on aesthetic styling element.
So, options if you keen for replacement
Instead of showroom
I suggest to connect with Nexon Owner Group on Social Media - Facebook as there are many owners and also try to join in local whatsapp group and try to strike a deal from someone whos interested in buying brand new alloys by picking say at price of Rs 8000 or so from showroom instead of exchanging it to them
But is Replacement recommended for Nexon Alloy Wheels
Nop wont recommend
> Alloy wheels are relative more Stylish and you will lose in styling aura
> Lighter in Weight , but stronger in strength than steel Wheels. Light Weight tends to add on 1.5% to 2% enhancement in fuel efficiency
> Alloys been better heat conductive than Steel wheels, can give better braking ability with enhanced life of brake disc and brake pads.
How much this replacement of alloys will going to effect the resale value in future ?
It will do impact in to almost rs 15K to 20K if you consider in replacement after 5 to 7 years or so
For someone whos buying top model will definite depreciate value on car without Alloy
Anything can be done instead of replacing alloys
Any specific reason for avoiding anti theft nuts ? You will get too kit to loosen the nut as and when required.
Unfortunately - there's no separate add on cover on loss of specific parts like Tyres, Alloy Wheels with most of the insurance companies
I suggest to use Anti Theft Alloy Wheel Nuts only. Cost around rs 2500 to 3000 approx from Manufacturer end, after -market can get in even 40% to 50% of price.
Its a recommended way for peace of mind protection
So, overall recommendation
> Avoid replacement of Alloy wheel with steel wheel and use Nut lock for safety
If you still plan to sell due to any reason
> Avoid exchanging with dealer
> Rather find a direct buyer through social media grou and sell at 15% to 20% lower price than actual price
Hope should help !!
