I had a couple of set's about 10 year's ago and I sold them both for $900 a set. But the way the economy is now I doubt you would get that much for them. To make sure they are real ET's take the tires off and if they are ET's they will have rivet's on them and not just welded from the backside as they will not say ET on them anywhere.

I looked in the old classifieds and there was a set for $751 in 2004. Weird price. 2004 prices may not apply.

I found another pair but they just say "Pending". I hate when people erase the price like that.

well they are on a buggy that someone has for sale. I have some thing worked out if the first person in line for the ugly ass buggy dose not buy it.

I just got this pic from him on email. the one he had on his add was from the side and they looked like cal parts.

I have not seen any ets for sale any where. Only the cal parts...

What is the history on these wheels????

hi there, that is more or less the same condition as mine before I did some work on them. I appreciate I am in the uk, and the prices are probably slightly higher over here but I paid around $1000 for mine including caps and bolts.

They are very similar looking to cal parts, crestlines and atlas wheels, kind of like a generic 5 spoke design, and as restojohnny says, these have no markings, except "made in usa 15x5.5" stamped where the tyre covers the wheel. The other types have manufacturers name stamped into them. I think they are literally made by the ET wheel company. They are a steel and alloy design that are riveted together.

Here are mine after work:-

i hear the local post office is doing a special deal on posting fish at the moment. :)

i hope you get them. they seem to have a more distinctive peak in the spokes than the set shown by simon uk, though this could just be the pics.

yep, some do have a ridge through the middle of the spoke, but whether there are mark 1, 2 and 3 which are all slightly different, I dont know for sure.
