$1500 for a set of four. You call that overpriced? Am I missing something here? I don't care for the look but the price is actually pretty reasonable.

The rims are just regular 2006-2008 rims that someone has painted. They aren't Nismo or special edition anything. Actually I think I remember someone on here who painted theirs like this.

OEM wheels. $800 max for those

These wheels came from a client who was heavily into "drifting". He took a trip to japan and saw that one of the drifters there had these wheels no one had. He inquired and been told that NISMO motorsports made these one off wheels just for that one racer as Nissan motorsports was his sponsor. He was determined to have these wheels so he brought us a picture and got these wheels made just for him. One set of Nissan 35th anniversary wheels, $2000 for labor and 3 weeks waiting time resulted in these absolutely unique wheels! (The set he saw had a white background but he wanted it in black to match his car. )
plus that is the biggest load of crap ever

yeah seller is insane. Those are the 06+ oems that normally go for 600-700 or so WITH tires! the only thing custom about it is the finish which doesn't really justify it costing that much more. Price is totally unreasonable considering you see some used volks going for near the 2k price point, again sometimes with tires so they're in the same price range as what they're asking for these wheels.

4 wheels X $752 = $3008

He paid $750 a piece for those with no rubber?

I do think the paint job is a cool idea though... Looks clean.
