By the time I bought my wheels (Centerlines) brand new $175 each and James charged me $125 each to change BS, and the $80 round trip shipping, I had nearly $700 in two rear rims. I probably could have bought two rear Bogarts for that price with the correct BS.

If the person does not have any money invested in the wheel then the price he charges is well worth it
