I hear ya, but what exactly are you wanting? Cause you could probably get a good set of chrome rims for about 1/2 of what Fikse' costs in 18s. Maybe a set of Boyds is good? Altho, personally, ZR-1s and Z06s are my two fav rims, outside of the Fikse. Try goin to some of the sponsers, Discount Tire, Tire Rack or maybe do a search on Google/Yahoo and see what you can come up w/ ....

Try the new iforged wheels. If you like the design, I have heard they are a lot cheaper than the fikse.

At $2500 for a set of 18's you sure cant beat the price <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> .. full polish will run ya $120 extra for the set.. good luck on the wheels <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I probley shaved 8-9lbs off each wheels by going with the forged wheels..

I can feel a big difference in performance with the HRE's.. sorta surprised me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
