 (4) of each.

 Does anybody have any idea what these things are worth?

 The catch is you need the Porsche backing plates to make them work.  Also
the inside diameter is critical.  Don't recall what the max dimension is, but
if it's larger, shoes will no longer fit, and the steel part of the drum is
toast.  Be careful about what you buy.

I bought a set of four with backing plates in great shape for $100, but
that's a steal.
