Yes, very expensive wheels. Something like $2500 a piece! I looked into them while shopping for mine. They look AWESOME but way beyond reasonable on price. I think Iforged had sometthing very similar to those.

Yes, very nice, but if you get them bigger than 17" you should get bigger brakes, which sets you back at least another $1000+!
Personally, I can't understand spending that kind of money for non-performance parts. Buy them used at 1/2 price or stick to better power adders.

RE: Advice on Rims
Well and some people like to keep the warranty so most power adders go out the window and off the list. I think the wheels are hot, and they are a 3 piece wheel so yes they are expensive but as I have said before, the savings is in replacement/repair. It is cheaper and easier to repair a 3 piece wheel and it is always possible with other wheels this is not the case so yea with a 1500 set of wheels you bend one you replace it, what if they do not make that wheel anymore? Now you have to buy 4 new wheels, Its up to what you are willing to spend but I say go for it if you can.
