I would have thought 16" would be very popoular, with people replacing 15" fronts with rears. It's taken me ages to get a pair of 16" Imolas (I paid £40 a wheel,which have I've just had refurbished £60 per wheel) and I'm after a pair of 16" OZ split rims which I would get refurbished aswell.

There's a set of somewhat kerbed Estorils in the classifieds which have just been substantially reduced and are still up for £600. There again, they've been there since autumn...
Maybe their rarity does justify the premium, but at that price I'd rather stick some (vastly cheaper) Imolas on if I went for a factory look.

5 spoke imolas have always been cheap as they're more plentiful.
Estorils however have always commanded a premium as they're rarer and as mentioned above the 16" have been bought to put on the fronts.
A few years ago when I was looking for a set I had to pay £500 for a full set just to get the 16" wheels, I then managed to sell the four 15" wheels I had individually for about £320 in total.
Prices seem have softened a bit recently as a set on ebay recently didn't sell at £299.
That said when well known breakers are askeing £200 for a single 16" wheel any full set in the £300 range seems like a bargain to me.
