Those wheel specs aren't ideal for the car. As others have mentioned though, there are places to have them relipped and rebarreled to have much more impressive specs. We have a dealer that offers this service even.

Yes i actually can I have a quote from a shop here in the bay area. I showed them ur ad here and they sent it straight to works and gave them a price quote and they r going to sell it to me for 2700 with the same exact specs ur wheels have. Ur not the cheapest one around the block. If anything ur prices r pretty high...just sayin

A+ on gloss barrel...worried it might be flat black. This is a beautiful rim.
no way man...maybe used or an older style of these rims(polished rim, basic spoke color, more modest offset) but you aint gonna find these exact rims for under $3k
New volks or works will typically run around $900 per rim at 19" any where you look...unless youv just got some real nice friends that will sell them to you for no profit.

well i asked for 18" cuz 19" are to common and to me i like the 18 look better. and yes i have a friend that owns a shop here in fremont that hooks me up all the time but he still makes a profit off of the rims i buy off him. thats because they get it for cheaper then you think. i bet you that this guy here probably gets these for 2400 so he can make a lot of each set due to the fact that he will probably only sells a few sets of these. people gotta make money right? so thats why they bump up the price tag. I got nothing against this guy, he is a very reputable dealer as we all can see, but there is always to get a set of these for next to nothing if you know the right people and i happen to know people that are willing to make only a couple of bucks rather then a fat profit...just sayin

Even at 18", width at 18x9.5/10.5 , black with black are not possible for $2400.
We are the largest WORK wheels distributor in the country, and I can't even get them at that low of a price.
Yes, everyone has to make a profit, but we make a reasonable profit and the most important parts is we deliver and we provide the customer service.
We don't over price or make a "FAT" profit. This is still a competitive market and the vendor with either the best service or best price will usually come up in front. And to most of our customers, customer service usually are more important then saving a few bucks.
The best example will be a certain vendor here that give out ridiculous price for WORK Wheels, but take over a year to deliver. While it only takes us average of 8 to 12 weeks to deliver.
You may have connection to get these at WD cost, that's great. But as a courtesy to me and other vendors on the board, you should not go on our threads and just bash us for making fat profit and overcharging our customers. That's really uncall for.

18" black on black should put you at $3380.
