Last I checked around $225 (Beauman/Tidwell area). You can buy a new one for about $25 more I think.

...or you can wait around for about 2 years like I did and find a good deal for about $100 a piece when people are tired of them and want an upgrade.

Cool

The bad thing is i had the back ones widened to 12.5 inches so they would fill the mini tubs i have ... i guess the widening may have weakened the chrome plating..

not sure may be able to get them powder coated for a better price. i know it isnt chrome, but they would look good depending on your car.
