The last set I saw on Ebay went for about $500. That costs more then the car itself.
How are they rice? The were obviously made for that car in general.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having a set of those wheels. They would match my air cleaner top.
But, due to the average asking price when a set is offered for sale, I guess I will just stick with the Ronal's I have on it now.

They probably weigh a ton (IDK for sure though) they will not let much air into the brakes they cost quite a bit for what looks to be a 15 or 16 (again IDK for sure). maybe rice isnt the right word but it is the closest to the right word

I thought custom wheels had 2 primary reasons for being added to a car.
1 looks
2 different tire size choices
These are not really "Custom" wheels, as they were actually an optional stock wheel in certain parts of the world. As such, number 2 is nullified. Making number 1 that much more important. And the looks of these are certainly unique, as unique as the engines themselves.

lol...i guess it's an island thing being latin and and from puerto rico those are like gold over there...And i for one would not have a problem rocking them...those rims are sick...
Those rims were not manufactured here in the states they were made out of japan and imported in...I also think puerto rico and ausi were making them as well...
but yes those rims rock and are one of a kind...wish i had a pair...
