Reading an article on the Popular Hot Rodding website they say the wheels retailed for $69.50 and as high as $74.50 by 1968. The wheels were sold complete with trim rings and flat center caps, but the special Hurst lug nuts were an additional $4 for a set of 5.

In comparison Cragar wheels sold for $32.50 each and Torq-Thrust wheels sold for $46.25 complete with caps and lugs. The Hurst wheels were quite expensive for their time, so sales numbers were never stellar which led to their demise in 1969.

That's about right on the Cragars. A set of Cragar SS at the time ran about $150 all mounted up and out the door.
