Very very rare so its a matter of keeping a constant look at eBay etc....

The only people I know who have had success in finding these since they became discontinued have either contacted people selling cars with them on and "persuaded" them to swap for OEM rollhoops and cash or have bought cars with them on (like me

)

Come on, let the cat out of the bag, how much did you pay

I think if it was me my logic would be:

- original price at todays money c£500
- less write down for second hand but factor in rarity =-£100

Sub total £400,

but if "persuading" owner to swap for OEM hoops

- less OEM Hoops in exchange = -£100
- plus "hassle" of exchangin = +£150

Sub Total £450

So I reckon they gotta be worth £350 (good price) to £450 (you really want them)

Anything less than £350 I think would be a bargain espcially knowing you would always get this money back resellin if you wanted

ps worth noting that mine are such a tight fit I don't think I could remove them even if I wanted to

you can get the alumex bars for £800ish as far as i remember. These are basically the unbranded ACS hoops.

3LakesLee ordered a set from them and got messed around so much he cancelled the order

You could always "persuade" Shantybeater to sell you his
