Title: New Cosmics 13x5.5, cheaper than restoration.
Post by: Richard48Y on Thursday,August 31, 2023, 07:30:19 PM

I found a company to re-cut my original vintage Cosmic wheels, at only $200.00 each.  :o

Then today I see these on feeBay, https://www.ebay.com/itm/144953985947?hash=item21bfee4b9b:g:CkQAAOSwaExj83ll&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0I69y0v5wj9P1Ol%2B%2BphFeSNHAQNkHCHX58c6ZPq%2BZlhrnx6uo63DOpEv1ePK%2Fa6dnDUvNvBy7iY1rYZx48U88B5Rqn6Jng946rR%2FuXpqeOSrUl8gzbvAfak4SZTn8r%2FSF9n4j4w2U6rPMs8Flku1byJ%2FuSwSa6UlCp%2FsJj8fQVqOEUFAIfhv49fcp2HGqVaQPXdeLIgYVyNsRw1afZ%2BEqOUR%2B0OrpvPKkafvVvx9xMMTb2I4MbBmoukTPazVzY1OXk5AAl9QpJBEDrd12xWju8I%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7Sb7ujJYg (https://www.ebay.com/itm/144953985947?hash=item21bfee4b9b:g:CkQAAOSwaExj83ll&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0I69y0v5wj9P1Ol%2B%2BphFeSNHAQNkHCHX58c6ZPq%2BZlhrnx6uo63DOpEv1ePK%2Fa6dnDUvNvBy7iY1rYZx48U88B5Rqn6Jng946rR%2FuXpqeOSrUl8gzbvAfak4SZTn8r%2FSF9n4j4w2U6rPMs8Flku1byJ%2FuSwSa6UlCp%2FsJj8fQVqOEUFAIfhv49fcp2HGqVaQPXdeLIgYVyNsRw1afZ%2BEqOUR%2B0OrpvPKkafvVvx9xMMTb2I4MbBmoukTPazVzY1OXk5AAl9QpJBEDrd12xWju8I%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7Sb7ujJYg)

So New are less expensive while they are available.

Check the offset.  In the day, Spitfire and Europa Cosmics had different offsets.

They're probably the same wheels that JBW sell.

Once you subtract VAT and add shipping to USA then JBW comes to about the same price. Assuming the eBay listing price doesn't include VAT.
