I might have to check into these more.
Yea they're pretty affordable compared to other popular brands out there. A set of 20x9 like mine are marketed at around 2k but I got mine brand new for 1,400.

Perspective is relative, but $350/wheel isn't chump change either.

Then there's all the incidentals, like tax, shipping, TPMS, mounting/balancing, four little things called tires...

And don't forget the most expensive thing of all, the infamous 4DSC window sticker. That thing has cost me over $2k, SunnyD, ask Rochester he'll hook you up (BTW, it is a nice looking touch IMO)

Tax is always a must. shipping was free. TPMS i just swapped from the factory wheels. mounting and balancing was free since i bought the wheels and tires from the same guys. conti DWS tires ran me 800. all in all i think i got a good deal and im VERY happy with how it all turned out. a few weeks from now ill just have to do an alignment after my springs settle.

SD: Fellow north Texan here. What made you go with the DWS over the DW? My car (bought used) still has the OEM rubber, and I am guessing maybe next fall for tires. With my job I can definitely work from home on the one or two days a year we get ice/snow. I know everyone loves the DWS, but I figured I would try the DW instead given the climate.

From what i understand, the DWS is a bit softer in ride quality and has better tread wear. The difference is probably minuscule but I trusted it. I'm not one to drive overly aggressive all the time, but I do like taking my G for a proper thrashing every now and then and the DWS has way more than enough grip for that. But I do agree, here in north texas we dont really need an all-season tire for snow, but whenever it does, ill have a decent tire for it. In the end it was getting a good price and seeing that on paper it should last longer than the DW that helped me make my decision, and so far im loving the tires.

Actually i thought they were more lower end. I think I am thinking of another wheel.
They look damn good though. Makes me want wheels more and more.

Thanks! I think they look quite good too haha. Its all relative like Rochester said. I mean i was looking at wheels in the 4-5k range before, so this was definitely more affordable compared to that.

That titanium finish is beautiful on its own when sitting in the box, but I think I prefer the traditional machined/silver look when mounted on the car. Either way, the more I look at these wheels, the more I'm liking the overall design.

The only negative is the weight... which isn't horrible, but not <= 18" OEM Sport Rims, either. Although I've not found weight specs on the 19" model. If someone finds that information, by all means post it up here, please.

I think it looks really nice on the car, i just havent gotten a chance to get pictures in the sun yet so the color of the wheels pop. then again pictures do it very little justice also haha. Ill get some day shots this weekend and maybe youll like em even more

Ill ask the guy i bought the wheels from if he knows and get back to ya on the weight of the 19s if he knows

My guy didn't know the weight on the 19s sorry.

Also, this really amused me

Looking to get the DWS too. Those circle things on the tire, them cosmetic? Also hows the noise level compared to OEM?

I like them wheels.

All that matters is that you like them. Personally I think they look great. Rochester would find something wrong with world peace, haha.
