Creaver 55 Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Hey all, I might have an opportunity to obtain some throwing stars, unsure if they are legit (probably not), but I have a few questions. How much do you reckon would be a reasonable price for replicas? I'm unsure how much to offer for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Simon* Report post Posted May 21, 2008 Ian There was a set of 17's going on trademe a while back that Joel (GIJoel) was going to buy for about $400-500 from memory. They were reps, with tyres and a little curbing but still in good nic. That would be cheap in my opinion. They look great - go hard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 i paid $1100 for 4 17x8.5 bbs (with DISH) with good tyres...i WANTED them and felt that was ok value. I would go higher than that for real throwing star,but not reps.Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuen 16 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 Do replicas have a cover design as well or are they one piece? If they use covers as well then maybe you could get genuine covers to get them to spin the right way? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 22, 2008 the genuine article is a 3 peice item.The wheel itself, the throwing star cover ,and a central cover over the nuts.I would think that the genuine price may be even more than 800 each...PLUS gst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
