3rd Gen Firehawk Wheels. I found a set of these wheels but I have no idea what they're worth. They look like repops but they do have the Firehawk center caps. Anyone out there know how to ID these things? And if they're worth buying? They are being sold at $300.

I posted this in your other thread as well:
However, I do not know if there is a way to tell "original '92 run" wheels from sets that Ronal has produced since then. Fact is, assuming they are making them to the exact same standards, I don't think there would be any value difference since it's still from the original manufacturer.

I had a friend that bought a set from Ronal back around 2006 or so, they were doing another production run at that time. Not sure if they have run any more since then.

I have a set on my Formula... They are worth about $1000-1400 depending on condition. As for reproduction, I feel as long as they are made by Ronal it doesn't really matter too much. I have no clue how to Identify which batch they were made from though. Sorry... My center caps just say SLP.
Here are a few pictures of my ride for those unfamiliar with the wheels... Hope you don't mind...
