$100 per wheel plus shipping seems to be the market rate.

Somehow I knew which ones you prefer.... Don't ask me HOW I figured that out!

Slowly but surely- there will be a white MOMO Edition on the right and left coasts!

Ok, still looking for a new set of rims, I like the wheels on the blue Elan (in the middle), does anyone know who makes these wheels? Size and type?

Those are John W's so I'm sure he'll be along in a moment to tell you exactly, but they look like OZ Polaris wheels to me (certainly OZ of some kind). Any prizes for guessing correctly?

Prize to Alan.

Yes they are my wheels. They are 15" OZs, but I don't know the model name as they were on the car when I bought it about 5 years ago. They look similar (ish) to the S2 wheels, however the offset is different. I have not measured how different, but I haven't noticed any adverse effects on steering or handling (but then I've never driven the car with standard wheels).
