I've seen that before. That is insane, anyone know how much they are new from a dealer?

I saw that they are made in China. The brake pedal is made in China as well. The steel rims are made in Turkey

I'm sorry, but $245 each on eBay is nuts... $209.97 each is crazy, too...

Spend a little more, and get an aftermarket wheel that looks better!

Later,

Low volume part that had to be designed & built for only 1 car model.
It's not something that Holden already had in the parts bin & thankfully it doesn't get used on anything except USA cop cars.
Also with Government type contracts it's not unusual for a company to bid for the work at bare bones pricing and then attempt to recoup some money on exclusive spare parts (or contract ammendments, or servicing, or ......).

[I can see the Holden pricing on this wheelcap & the high price originates from Holden]
