Mesh Magnesium Volk's

Spoke Magnesium Volk's

What do you guys think of these? When will they be out. They are priced at about the same price as the Magnesium TE37's as you can see.

The Magnesium TE37's tip the scale at 12.9 lbs for the 18 x 8.5's. According to wheelweights.net and other sources. Im sure each source is just copying eachother however.

Oh and nevermind about seeing the Mag Mesh's in Gold. I didnt realize the second picture was of the Champion Golds.

How much do the Magnesium TE37's cost in the states? Because in the U.K. it looks like the Mag Mesh's cost about the same as the Mag TE37's.

Using a currency calculator the Mag TE37's cost 1500-1600 each. Are they really 1500-1600 dollars each? There has got to be a better price somewhere!

Nevermind about costing 1600 each...Thats with Sales Tax included in the U.K which is about 15% or more.

I got a quote of 1250 dollars for the Forged Mag Mesh's in 18x9 ...Still alot of dough of course.

I wouldnt reccomend magnesium rims for daily driving, I htink they would crack or become damaged on normal roads with potholes, bumps, etc...

matix is right if you hit a well enough bump the mag's will crack...thats why they are used for racing purposes only...if u rgetting them to auto X then ur fine...but for daily driving it will be a risk...an expensive one at that...
