Nice, who made them for you and cost if you don't mind?

Those are really nice, bet they cost an arm and leg though being cut from billet. Doesn't 1 blank billet cost over $400 alone? Last year at a honda mini meet there was a guy german guy there selling Monkey rims, they were the nicest ones id ever seen, but he was asking around 1200 euro each.

I wasn't knocking them. They look great, but a billet is by definition a solid chunk. Those are two piece, welded, and in fact, you can even see the decals on them from the manufacturer. Again, none of that is bad. If it were a custom from a billet blank, you'd be paying $1000 per. He's not doing anything wrong. It only makes sense to buy a blank from a wheel manufacturer. They know what they're doing, and it saves him / you a lots of material cost, run time, and money....

Oh I know and I know you weren't knocking I just was unaware of the material used.
