call them,
they have not updated their prices in 4 years on their website
they told me

but in general they said its better to purchase the wheels from ebay
because you will still save some money over their retail prices

About $800 shipped. That's still not too bad of a deal.

Ive had great experiences with both TimZwheels and AFS wheels. I both mustangs rims from afs, they look very good and quality is excelent. I also just bought a set of Black Z06's for the vette, they look very good. Hopefully they will be on the car soon after I get back from vacation.
