I’ll toss out a number: $10 for a pair of them...

Of course that means I’d be paying $60 for enough of them to rebuild my Challenger! :-)

Whatever, it’s only money. I’ve already spent a bunch on other BrickLink orders for parts, why not spend some more for wheels?

This seems a pretty reasonable price (from the market point of view, I don’t know about production costs) especially when compared to the price of the large spoked wheel. On bricklink at the moment the cheapest is $4 for a pair and the average is $7.30 and these are in limited quantities + only in red! http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPriceGuide.asp?P=35&colorID=5

I don't think that the fair price for an item that can be produced in almost
unlimited quantity (and in fact will have to be produced in large quantity
to create return on investment) can reasonably be compared to the price for
a collector's item that is long out of production.

That is not to say, I wouldn't pay $10 per pair (as I posted before), but at
least in my case, the ROI would be higher with a significantly lower price.
Avaiability in multiple colors (black being my next favorite) will probably
also help with that matter ...
