like an idiot, sold them when I sold the car (I could shoot myself right
about now for that). I have seen sets advertized for as much as $1200.00
to $1500.00 per set, which is out of reach for guys like me. >>
I guess that price would be for the magnesium American Racing wheels, the
aluminum ones are out there for anywhere from $15-75 a piece, depending on
condition. Also, be careful of old magnesium wheels, they tend to be less
than safe (read brittle) and may be for "show only".
