I had a set of 18s priced out for me by Texas Speed a couple of weeks ago and they weren't far off from the CCWs I am contemplating.

So, pricey, but not above and beyond a normal forged wheel.

Looks like a brake upgrade and a narrowed rear end.

not all of us have money like that either.. 18" tires are not cheap by any means for something worth having on the wheel as well

I know that man, I'm just saying that it seems like others don't mind spending that kind of money on quality wheels.

I don't like the wide metal rim to get a skinny sidewall, instead of more rubber sidewall. Nor do I care for the long exposed lug bolts.

Different strokes for different folks. I still like my classics with rubber sidewalls AND chrome.
Not an age thing, my father also thinks your wheels are ugly.
