R91 or R85 - Which would you buy?

Hi All,
Just wondering which of the following wheels do you think would be the easiest to sell/fetch the most money on the second hand market?
R85 or R91?

R85's for me, they are more classic looking, but over here both fetch about the same on the used market

I think that in Oz, second hand value on either will be similar. But IMHO go for the Bullets - they are a little rarer at the moment.

I prefer the R85's. More "MINI" less common looking (you see bullet type wheels on things like VWs etc.)
