I would assume those are forged monoblock though which is the way good. F it, go for it and get them powercoated black
I don't know about the minimum wage, but the economy is similiar to Sweden. Taxes are one of the highest in the Europe. Just to compare: A set of new 17" Rota D2s cost about 800 euros (~1000$) whitout tires and a new ViewSonic 32" LCD HDTV costs 1200 euros (~1400$). 22% of the price of those products is tax.

I'm a student so I don't have too much cash to play around, so I'm not too picky about those scratches. 1000 euros is alot of money for me, but these are Volks and I'd really like to have them. There might be a set of stock R33 Skyline GT-R wheels around too for 500 euros, but then I'd have to go 5 lug right away...
