It's about the going rate. You will be lucky to see them too much cheaper than that.

Yeah, I paid $100- each for five, one turned out to be no good and had to buy another and then paid $120- each to have them restored and painted. Then more for the 4 caps, about $75- and then $110- each for five A008's and $30 for 16 wheel nuts. I sold my mags for $300- so all up it cost me $1555- to put original wheels back on. It adds up.

Well, that's about AUD$640 for the set based on today's currency conversion. Price has increased to GBP66.45 (and thats their sale price!!!) since your link reference. Then there's the shipping to factor in.

I'd be happy to sell my 2nd hand set for that!

Up until a few weeks ago it was pretty close to parity with the exchange rate tickling the underside of 50 cents to the pound. Things have taken a turn however.....

I've been emailed a voucher code for a further 10 percent off, maybe that's why they jacked up the price. I won't be using it however...
