I think they were £600.00 a pair in 85 and they were known to snap with side flex so they were a no go as standard £60.00 skyways worked a treat. Gimmick springs to mind.
Don't think they were £600, £200 is where I recall them being. I recall the skyway riders having them in various colours but to the general public they were black or black. I had a set BITD and swapped them for some Ukai speedlines and much targeted riding them
Skyway Grapites only ever available in 1 colour...... errrr graphite colour

Colored Skyway wheels showed up occasionally in BMX magazines. From my understanding, these wheels were only made specially for the Skyway riders and never actually produced for sale
