I think they sell their wheels first because wheels won't mean crap to someone who doesn't want them and they definitely won't pay more for them. This will limit their selling audience. I too would sell my aftermarket wheels in order to recoup some of my losses before just throwing them in on the deal.

i am and will do just that...not sure what set to powder coat
as of yet...gotta see whats what when i get them....
but right, it makes sense to have a spare set of wheels,... for
the " what ifs' " in life, or track days or wutever...1200 is a steal...
maybe by spring they'll be less, as the 09's will offset the market.
8-900.00??? hmmmm? lol

I bought the rear lenses already sprayed and the sides are tinted but clear not orange so they look white at night. Got them from a guy named wild wheel but he doesnt make them anymore. Ive heard good things about the ebay ones though. Just buy them pre-assembled and then you dont have to glue and **** like i did

the access wheel is polished

chrome = heavy, thats why i dont want to use mine as track wheels if i'm going to powder them black. I'd powder stock reg. V wheels black before i did that.
