IMHO, I don't think this is really true. Perhaps before Porsche reissued the 8 & 9 x 16" Fuchs it was, but since you can buy a brand new wheel for ~$800, it has pretty much capped the previous rise in value of 20-30 year-old wheels, regardless of how nicely they are refinished. Duty cycles weaken even forged wheels, and there is no way of knowing what kind of stresses a used wheel has been exposed to in its life. Most people are going to choose a new wheel over a used one if the price is not significantly less.
