How much is a set of GP wheels, tyres worth
I don't forsee me ever using my GP wheels again and I have no intentions of ever selling this car. So should I sell the wheels that are just taking up space, Heidi's mini has PIAA's on it and I'd hate to see the GP wheels get damaged, so why not sell them. How much do you think they are worth, they have Mitchilin sport 2 tyres on them, that have done maybe 6,000 miles.

It's really hard to guess, since so few GP owners have sold their wheels, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't get at least $2500-3000 for the wheels and tires.
Some of the 18" JCW wheels that any schmoe off the street can buy are ~$1500/set just for the wheels.
I also found a post from another GP owner that was quoted a price of $700 from the dealer for one extra tire/wheel as a "spare".

I'll take them off your hands for $5. LOL, just think, $5 whle dollars and all that free space!
In all seriousness, I would think that they would fetch a fair amount of money if they are in good shape as they are exclusive to the can and most dealerships won't sell you the wheels w/o an actual GP. The exclsivity of the wheels alone would drive the price up a lot. Asking $2k would make the wheels disapear in a heartbeat.
But again if there was a NAM-bay, my opening bid is $5 shipped to the west coast!

hey gary - I have the AC Schnitzer package on my 05 MCS - including the AC Schnitzer wheels, on Michelin Pilots - 17", red wheel whees with machined lip. 7k miles. I'm actually not a huge fan of the red wheels and have always liked the GP wheels - would you be interested in a swap??????

The problem is that since adding the stoptec brakes I would need 20mm spacers to clear them if I use the GP wheels. So to be realistic they are just going to sit around for a long, long time.

here's a pix of them on my car, side view (since taking that pix - i've actually removed the decals on the side of the car):

They look awesome on white. These pictures I found on Google and don't know whose mini they are but I believe they are replicas.

I think the bare wheels weigh 19.8 lbs each, which ain't bad for an 18" wheel. In fact, that's lighter that the lightest of the MINI 17" wheels by a good three pounds or so, and lighter than half of the 16" MINI wheels.

Yikes, 20 lbs for the 17" knock-offs and 22 lbs for the 18"s. Too bad no one makes a truly lightweight version of this design.
