I wanted to get an extra 18" steelie as they seem to be becoming rarer in the US. Dealer wanted almost $500 and most online parts places are charging $420-450 plus a fortune for shipping. People on various forums appear to think that these wheels are collectors items and charge accordingly.

I considered picking one or two up in the UK on my next trip there, but didn't really want to deal with shipping or carrying them back. Then a google search found Chicago Wheel Service and I was able to pick one up for $279 including ground shipping. As far as I can tell it's brand new (it may be that is just refinished very well) and I'm really happy with the whole experience. If anyone else is looking for 1 or 2 spare steelies or a replacement alloy, I'd recommend these guys based on my experience.

It's crazy what these cost. In the UK you can get a full set of take-offs for $400. Here, they are priced like they are made from unobtanium.

 

There's always loads on e-bay for about $1500 shipped. Price seems stable as demand is very low.

Perhaps demand will increase as supply dwindles now that LR have stupidly stopped offering them on the P300.
