I know you think they are too expensive but no need for that! Others have said that it is a reasonable price given the rarity...

I've offered them to someone for £460, if he doesn't want them at that price then i'll open it up to others here If they don't sell at that price then i'll either sell them separately or keep them

Many thanks

I would ebay them with a reserve. Then if they sell, they sell, if not, then keep them, either way OP, it sounds like the easiest thing to do. Gets you out to a bigger audience too

I remember people advertising far more common Galaxies for £500 on Ebay, after taking the tyres off, so I think that's a very fair price for Gemini's - which arguably are rarer than Polaris!

It's simple with such rare items.

If you want them you have to pay for them. No fixed prices can be made due to the rarity.

If the price is too high. Don't complaint and wait for a nice occasion like Yoda960 did when buying a complete car.

I have all original sets in 16" for my 240's incl. the galaxies and Geminies and Hydra's. Don't know what they are worth but for me it doesn't matter since I will keep them the rest of my life. In fact I like the comfort of 16" more than 17" which made me never check out these Polaris wheels.

I wish Yoda960 honestly all the best in getting them sold.

Thanks for all the comments chaps, like you say they are very rare and i've seen more Polaris for sale than Geminis. Galaxies are common by comparison! I'll keep hold of them if they don't sell quickly
