.....but I point out that earlier this year I bought a set of 5 fully restored & polished by Al Reed from SoCalAndy (after his 5-lug conversion), including a perfect set of 16 of the proper fit aftermarket chromed lug bolts & 4 billet center caps. for $1000 IIRC.
So their expectation of $2500 or close to it is way out of line!
Be forewarned that, given a 2010 quote of $160 per wheel from Al to restore another set of 5 wheels I have (painted Phoenix Red of the Japan 914 LEs), including an added cost for paint/chromate primer removal & re-anodization & finished to factory appearance (not just polished). I typically see these Fuchs 2L wheels selling in the $100-150 per wheel range unrestored (sometimes less), so add $160+/- each for Al Reed's or Weideman's resto work, and you're only at $260 - $310 per wheel - or $1300 - $1550.
So this guy is looking for about a $1000 profit (or more if he did the polishing himself)!
Here's the link FYI to anyone needing these, and maybe he'll take a more reasonable offer if they don't sell high enough to support his crack habit?
