Pfffft... they were paying $100 each for mint ones years ago, and sending `em to Japan.
Are worth at least that now here, more overseas- the UK 3.5" wide S ones bring ridiculous money now. :lol:

Condition is best judge of value, $50 to $100 is a valid range. If completely refurbished and as new, then $200 each.

Post us some pics

I paid $50- each for 7 recently. LP883's. 5 were worth restoring. One had the stud holes drilled out too big and the other was a reverse rim. I then spent $125 on each to get them restored. They were blasted, primed and painted in the original Silver Birch Metallic paint. I then put new A008's on them(about $110) and new hub caps which were I think about $25- each. So all up each restored wheel on my car cost me about $310-. Adds up but the look great in my opinion. One of the other two was also painted up and now has a used Hoosier race tyre on it courtesy an Ausmini member and is on display in my garage.

Yep, I paid just over $400 for a set of 4 - not a very good investment I'd say

Alloy ones I've seen, they are slightly different to original ones. Minispares uk has aftermarket steel on their site but no stock...
