Just bought a mk1 chimaera 500 with Imolas. Considering changing them to Estorils since they were the standard but can’t decide if this is a wise investment.

Love the look of my Estorils but if I were going to change from Imolas I'd go for SP12's smile

Had both and now have SP12s much prefer the SP12s. Had a set of TSW fusions on my last chimaera and they are as rare as hens teeth but look fantastic it you can get hold of them

The Estorils are nicer IMHO (I had them on my last car) but with sets for sale for £900 or more (!?), I decided to have the my Imolas refurbished.

I don't think they're bad, in fact they are easier to keep clean than many other alloy wheels I've had, but I'd consider changing to 17/18" wheel combination as opposed to getting 2nd hand Estorils.

They may be an 'investment' though as you say because it may help to sell the car when it goes. Non original sized wheels can put buyers off.
