Yup I have a set of ERA wheels I am thinking of parting with.

They are the real deal with the correct era centres etc and they have Compomotive casting numbers and writing inside the cap area.

I do have tyres for these with plenty of legal tread and are 175/50/13.

The owe ridiculous money and are near on impossible to get (although the copies turn up from time to time).

The only thing I don't have are the screw bolts for the centre caps but I was getting stainless security bolts for then and they were only £6 the set.

I'd say there hard to price to be honest, with them being so rare.

It's an ebay special I reckon, as you'll get someone abroad will to pay big money for them, how big I'm not to sure though.

Cheers

I'm not a member and it seems rude to join a forum just to ask how much something is worth?
Looks like a great site though.

I would like to see enough to buy a new set of 13x7 superlites with tyres . Does anyone think thats a sensible proposition or should I ask for more/less?

I think you should advertise onnthe era website. They Are likely to want them. They should get you more than the supelites and tyres in my opinion.

I'd say with there rarety, they don't really have a 'book' value. They're really worth what someone's willing to pay.

Personally, i wouldn't pay more than £100 for them, but then it's already been suggested that they're worth five times that..

100 wouldnt get you the tyres but like you say its down to what someone will pay.

Ive put them in the swapshop area and have been told to expect 400-600 in current condition and more if I sell overseas. The possibility of 800 to an overseas buyer is there.

I would just be happy with a decent swap for another style and some arches.

Is it worth trying them on eBay? Rare stuff on there with overseas postage tends to go for silly money.

I despise ebay and I'm a bit stuck in my ways.
I prefer the good ol days of a haggle, a beer then some more haggling and some good old hard cash.
Both people leave happy and know where they stand without all this feedback malarky.
