    They are available as reproduction from Rares but in true Rares style they are no where near as good as the originals.....

    Greg can tell you what a NOS one is worth. ;)

    He has one with my name on it lol. Sell it Greg and I will hunt you down! haha.

    They sell for about $1000 for a NOS wheel. No cap etc.
    For a NOS cap. Depends.
    HQ style one no badge about $150. With badge more!
    HJ-HX plain one about $80-100
    HZ one i have never seen a black one. (would have brought it if I did) but the NOS buckskin ones sell for about $35.

    good second hand 5ml wheel $550 plus...
    good second hand 3ml wheel $350 plus..
    nos 5ml..good luck but have seen $1500 a few years back..
    nos 3ml i sold to jason for 1k but holgold want $1500..

    my definition of good second hand is a wheel that has good grain still showing on the vinyl and is not bent..if its smooth as a babies bum and has kinks at the end of the spokes beware and dont pay a premium price..

    5 ml wheel with a 77 date code..which just talking to dr terry would be around the time side intrusion/crash protection adrs came in and from what can be figured out 3ml wheels started then..so mid hx.

    pic above is 3ml wheel with hz cap.

    interesting reading and a all the australian design rule numbers are in this link http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roa...n/pdf/vol1.pdf
    side impact adr was january 1977

    Here are some pics of the one out of the SS..

    I brought this from Americam Autos, back in 1997, for $395!! It was still in the Bridgestone Box and was brand new!




    As you can see, it was manufactured in 1994.. Yes, it is a 3mm version..



    I have a 5mm version here as well, but there is no date code on it, just the 282... part number.

    cheers

    The new ones will be. They had the sample around when I was down there a few weeks ago, it was off for ADR testing. Will only be thin spoke though.
