I think I got the wheel bug, seriously thinking of selling my brand new set

Someone please talk me out of this! Last summer I got a set of Cuzco Tenzo V1s pictured below. I got a decent deal on them brand new, but after seeing pictures of the 18x9.75 XXR 527 (also pictured below) on a tl and in person I think I am in love. I like the wheels I have now but I love the concavity of the 527. So the question is if you were me would you sell the Cuzco's for the XXR I think I might be able to come pretty close to breaking even if i find the right buyer I mean the best deal you can find online is 285 shipped per rim for the Cuzco, while the xxr is 145 shipped. The advantages I see besides awesome looks is tires would be cheaper, no need for spacers (the Cuzcos have a +45 offset, compared to the XXRs +20) ride comfort would be slightly better, it should be lighter and better fuel economy (I would be switching from 245 to 225 with the xxr, along with the lighter weight). I already have my fenders rolled and have a camber kit so getting those xxr's to fit shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I do sort of like about the Cuzco is you don't see too many of them while the XXR is a dime a dozen.

I'd sell the Tenzo set. Too many spokes imo.
