Not true. The Z specific RGRs are HEAVILY discounted... you can score a set directly from BBS for 1500 for 18s, and 1800 for 19s. This, of course, is assuming the inventory overload is still there. Check it out.

I was kinda under the impression that on the back of my stock 05 wheels there is a casting that says Rays manufacturing, so we all have have Rays wheels when we were stock. It is a matter of preference, some prefer to pay for the name, Volk, NismO ect, I rarely have my car on the track, so a few pounds difference really is not important to me but, when at the track I remove all floor mats, including in the hatch, spare tire, jack ...ect. Well you get where I am going with this, pay if you must or simply remove ballast at the track, rEally simple concept.
