246 wheels- recent prices

Have any knockoffs for 206/L-series 246?

 

I've sold and bought a couple sets of wheels.

I sold a really nice powder coated set of four for about $1500 a couple years ago. BUt that's probably close to what I had into them by the time I was done.

Bought a set that needed painting, with caps for about $600, spent another $600 painting them right. These are the keepers. They look beautiful on the car.

I've seen sets for a couple hundred bucks not sell. I've seen them sell for up to $2,000.

The caps are worth more than the wheels, anywhere (restored and nice) for $100-200 each. Seem to sell for more one at a time than in sets. But, really nice repros are now available, which may drive that down a bit.

Steering wheels. All over the map. I've seen them go for $100, $1000, and $1200, depending on time of year, condition, etc.

Bought a front license bracket last year for $50.00

Good horn button $100 maybe, as excellent repros are available.

 

Does anyone know a source of originals or really nice repros? The repros I have seen so far are not good.

 

Superformance (http://www.superformance.co.uk/index.htm) has repro wheels of both the Cromadora and the Campy type. In addition, they have the Cromadora in 16". I would think for a driver or as a spare set for running around, the 16" would increase the selection of tire choices which should improve handling. Has anyone tried any of their wheels?

I was referring to the caps, but this is also useful info.

 

On eBay now:

I sold a nicely restored set of five a couple years ago for about $1000 on ebay, which, by the time I had them stripped and painted was about a break even. Those ebay wheels look interesting, what's with the discoloration where the caps attach?

The back of the wheel shows made in 1972. The USA version for a 1972 Ferrari Dino wheel had Fiat on the front. 1973 & 1974 had Dino on the front. 1975 had Ferrari on the front (308GT4). These wheels may have come off a non-Dino car or possible 1972 Euro.

 

I have very nice concourse quality ones restored for $1200 the set.
