My weak memory tells me that we paid about 120 Euros per wheel each to Carsdream. But, of course, each wheel in the group was priced differently and they gave us 10% group discount IFRC. On the other hand, Euro was as $1.46 then.
Yours probably was the simplest and least expensive of the wheels to do. Some require adding or (in my case) shaving thumbrest, different leather etc. Thy charged slightly more (10 Euros) for 4-spoke than 3-spoke. I just double-checked my Excel file from that group buy - yep, yours was the least expensive. And the Euro dropped about 10% since then so it would have been another $15 or so less today. Which is pretty good, considering that it's hard to find anything under $400 for labor in US.

Well I'm happy and sending the wheel out Friday to Poland.
Overall going to cost me about $320 for shipping & recovery. $40 used wheel, $20 new wheel pad emblem. So right in my $400 budget
