Interestingly, someone has some for sale on ebay: linky linkyDifferent size and different stud pattern, but the same style. I messaged him as they are relevant to my interest, but he wants £200 a rim. Yes, £200 per wheel. Straight-up clowning. I'd say about 200-250 a set, without tyres. Bearing in mind your set have old tyres, I'd say 250-350 which I realise is a big range. You've got to find someone who likes them As a counterpoint, here are some other wheels, the same size as the ones in the ebay ad but with tyres, for £250 a set. I would say these are equally rare link

Cosmic MK1 's - I do rather like them when they are in the more usual black and highlighted - used on G15's - That more dished deeper offset version is pretty cool. They are super lightweight but a marmite choice outside of certain marques. MLT looks on the money value wise  or if you paid more start there.

Be careful with those wheels they come from a time when they can be Magnesium or Aluminium. The dearer ones are the rarer and lighter Magnesium ones. Magnesium degrades with age and are less trustworthy. The cheaper ones are Aluminium and more stable. An example of a degraded Magnesium wheel. -

A drop of vinegar on a bare bit of metal will soon tell you if its Alu or Mag
