For a retro build? Yeah that’s about right, the primo comets are somewhat collectable as well.
But for regular modern use? I’d not bother

Someone sold a set with a Crack for more than that. I’d jump on these if they were $300 and available to me.

Work on the Chrysler 300?! I don’t think so.

These were hot shit back in the day.
But everyone I knew with them eventually went with a spoked wheel.
If the bike is mostly for display and you’re nostalgic, sure. I wouldn’t trust them for anything beyond flat ground only cruising. They’re old and the plastic is likely brittle.

God damn those are good looking rims. And I would never own them to ride. Too many problems. And they cost too dang much. $300 to $500 on the museum. Up to $800 on eBay.
