Do wheels add resale value?

My dilemma is, I got a Benz, now should I skimp and go with some 18" replicas, ASA's stye ST4's on Tirerack, which are cheap enough and look great. On the other hand I could go with a name brand AMG or BBS 17's which are a bit more affordable. If I went as far as getting the name brand "Benz," why not complete the package with some name brand wheels.
Would AMG, BBS or Kleemann wheels add resale value above a good looking replica like the ASA's?

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
it is only gonna help your resale value if you are gonna private sell it to someone who is interested in aftermarket upgrades...but for trade in, no...it might even hurt you.
