ronmcdon has a point. The price increase lately is insane. The CEs I currently have on mycar, my friend bought new for 2400 2 years ago. Nowadays, that same set is 3200ish. That's an insane price increase. For the price, I can save a little more and get some BBS LMs.
However, the price increase won't deter me and lead me to buying fakes. I'll just buy a more affordable quality wheel (Enkei, Work, Advan ::although still a bit pricey for a cast wheel:
or buy some Rays used, which is what I ended up doing.
