Can you please extend the Hi-Metal Bronze finish to other wheels?? I would sell my Formula Silver Limited Editions CEs in a heartbeat if I could buy CEs in HMB finish.
Are those new nismo rims i see?

We must continue to support the companies who create the lightweight, forged timeless wheel designs. I like the catalog. 
I just have a quick question though, I thought the GTS in 19x9.5+17, and 19x10.5+18 weren't being produced anymore? I still see the specs available in your catalog.
, you should already know why these wheels are worth the price they sell for.

blah blah blah answer the faken question, i'm a cnc machinist and have done set ups and price quotes for machining parts so this is why i'm really interested as to why your wheels are so expensive i mean five thousand dollars for a set of rims machined in what like an hour, i really doubt you machine your wheels out of a solid piece of cast or forged material. Most shops charge around 60 to 100 an hour machine time and since your buying materials in bulk the cost shouldn't be that high or unless inflation is your excuse. I await your answer

This is why their wheels cost more...

Why are you so mad? If you disagree with the prices of their wheels don't look through their catalog. All Volk wheels do not cost 5,000 dollars by the way.
I support Rays because they continue to make original designs, and everyone else seems to be trying to imitate, but you can't beat the original.

Do you have engineers and CNC programmers?. Do you work in a building?. Does your part go from the machine out straight to the customer?. I don't want to waste my time with chain of questions. Are you involved in high precision?. Parts are sold for more than 1,000 a piece but takes 20 minutes to run. A company could spend years on designs and testing of a product and don't expect them to sell it based on your calculation of hourly rate. Also do some search on the actual machining and assembly cost of your Z and ask yourself if you got ripped off

Why is it expensive? Because there is a lot more going on at Rays (or any company that does actual engineering) than a few CNC machinists in a room with blocks of metal charging basic time+materials.
A good company is founded on a good infrastructure. Anyone who works in a serious company should know that you have to pay a lot for that infrastructure, but in the end it pays off and makes your company not only profitable, but stable.
Good engineering + good materials + good machinists + good design/looks + validation testing + track proven results = not a "budget" wheel
