Need Help Choosing Wheels on My Order

I still have time, so I'm told, to make changes to my order. So I thought I'd ask your opinions on which of the OEM 15" wheels to order. Granted, 15" OEM wheels are not exactly wheels anyone would drool over, but I'd like to know which one you guys consider the most popular, i.e. which wheel would probably sell faster on the resale market.

Reason I ask is that I will be replacing my OEM 15" wheels & tires as soon as I bring the car home and will be selling them immediately as a set.

I currently have the "Rocket" wheels on my order, the R93s. And the other two choices are the "7 Hole" wheel and the "Delta Spoke" R96 wheel.

Your inputs are appreciated. TIA

New sets of the 7-hole "holies" often appear on the Marketplace forum here, due to the fact that many winter-challenged members swap them out and use them solely as winter wheels. I offloaded mine to a SoCal Member easily. I'm not sure if selling them on NAM is what you had in mind, but there is demand for them, for sure. Good luck!

Thanks Suzanne. Yes, I hope to sell them here in NAM's Marketplace forum. And hopefully to someone local, i.e. no shipping necessary.

But that's a good point, that many like to use them as winter wheels. Not that we here in SoCal are winter challenged, but I'm a little tired of this rain, are you? Enough already!

Holies are the classic rims and imho really look nice on a MINI. They're also lite, I think many track users like them.

I bought my set of holies with original tires (for winter use) from some one in CA on ebay. They had maybe a dozen miles on em. They go very fast on ebay all the time.

Good luck!

Assuming I don't sell the car for a while I'm actually looking to buy a set of 15" Hole-ees. I'm assuming they would mount fine on an MCS, right? I do realize I'd loose the runflat tires, but that's a good thing. I hate them and they're way too expensive.
