Why are they so fucking high? There is no reason? Your telling me that a 4.5 inch wheel costs more to make than a standard 7-8 inch wide billet wheel that sells for 3-400 bucks? No, its because some poeple have more money than sense. I'll keep my heavy ass wheels and safe that 1000 bucks and buy a bigger turbo.

Forgeline makes some really nice wheels also, and I have seen them on several Corvettes, not saying they are cheap, but they look nice..:bigthumb:

I just cant grasp how they can charge 1/3 MORE for a wheel that takes less than 50% the size billet to make... The 17x9.5 rims are 335 dollars for the polished rims and the 4.5's (less than 1/2 size billet needed to machine the 4.5 wheel.........) costs a full $210 dollars more. Less tie mto machine, less cost of billets, less waste to pay to have recycled... I just dont understand the logic.

I emailed BS and asked them why they were so high and thats what they said. The 9.5 wheels use a spun barrel as I suspected and the billet center. The 4.5's are 1 piece which takes a lot longer to machine but that doesnt mean I have to like the price. Damnit I want a set of those wheels but im not paying a grand for 2 front wheels.
