only $3,100 for the set
Beautiful wheels but why, oh why do people say ONLY $3100.00 for the set. I realize that is a great price but the ONLY has me wishing my last name were Trump or Rockefeller. I want them so if I move into the motorhome, rent the house, pimp out the wife and girlfriend and sell my son into slavery then it's a definite maybe.

Depends - are you looking for the baddest wheels? Or something that works with a 315/335 tire?

For example I have a set of ancient Gotti wheels, many years ago these were fairly expensive (17x11). I got them a couple years ago for $500 with used race tires.
Right now I'm looking for sets of C5 rear wheels (18x9.5 or 18x10.5) because used race rubber in 18" sizes are easier to find.
