Doug, I believe the wheels sold new for $765 per wheel for the fronts and $795 per wheel for the rears, when they were available from Halibrand.

So M & A doesn't sell them, they just manufacture them?

I'm not 100% sure, but they have made wheels for Halibrand in the past, but I don't think they have made these specific wheels for the retail market. Although they do make and sell other mag wheels to consumers.

So add in some decent tires like Avons and you're bumping up against $5k out the door. Wow! Good looks, originality and all, but???

Well, if you're trying to make a more accurate replica...

Agreed, it's a ton of money.
