I'll start the bidding at $200... My final offer...

Seriously, I wouldn't take less than $800. Holies are sweet, and if they're brand new with tires, it's perfect for someone's winter wheels, then track wheels once the tires are changed.

Good luck!

Graci! There's someone selling them on Ebay now but they are not as new as mine. I will wait til they complete their sell and then throw mine up there.

There is a dealer in Florida that frequently auctions 15" new wheel and tire sets taken off new MINI's and they normally go for around $350-$400. . .(cheap $60 shipping too). I wouldn't pay more knowing that I think I could just call that dealer and they'd probably sell me a set at any time.

They have 2 sets up right now. . one a set of holies and one a set of another style.

One Georgia dealer had a new set with new tires on the showroom floor with $425 on a tag.

You are completely out of your mind.......If you are in a rush $400 will buy a set anyplace. If you are patient you can pick them up on here or ebay for around $200....Thats a good deal.

I bought a set for $168 off ebay!

Here is a set for $250 with tires brand new.....

sheeh

Fitch...You don't have to wait for that auction to end, and that one auction will not give you a good idea of the market.

Do a search for mini cooper wheels......Then look on the left side of the page, check the box that says completed auctions. it will ask you to sign in so you must be registered with ebay. browse the list looking for the hollies with tires.....There is probably atleast 6 sets a week that sell on average for about $250

I have 3 sets of holies, one set came with the car, one set came new from classic mini for around $450, and one set came used (but flawless) for $100.

I think $450 was fair, and $100 was a steal. So I'd look for something between the two as a price for yours, and then add a couple hundred bucks for the tires. . . keeping in mind that not everyone wants tires with their wheels. So I guess I'd be prepared to get $300 on the low end, and maybe up to about $600 if you're really lucky.

There's no way you'll get $800, you can basically go to classi mini and buy brand new wheels, and then tire rack and buy brand new tires, and not have much more than $800 into it.

If I was you, though, I'd keep 'em. I love those little wheels

I wouldn't sell them - they're worth more to me because I think they are the best looking OEM wheels - Therefore I would not part with mine for less than $800.

I look at ebay all the time too, and while you will find sets of holies going for a few hundred, there are S lites (which everyone wants to get rid of - PERFORMANCE KILLERS!) with tires that are going for almost a thousand. That's crazy. I know there are runflats on there, which are pricey, but I would rather have a set of holies any day of the week.

One day you'll wish you still had them, and if you're selling them to help pay for an aftermarket set will $300 really contribute that much? If I could get them to pay for most of the purchase it might be worth it, but they're worth more than a few hundred.

2 shillings!
