First curb rash and you shoot yourself.

its magnesium. and light. its about 9lbs lighter than the stock wheels. add those up, and you get expensive.

They are great quality though, made in the same manufacturing plant as volks, etc.

I'd never drive a magnesium wheel on the street.

For that amount of money, you could have HRE 545's. And those look a hell of a lot better than those.

Magnesium cost alot. and its very hard material.

Take it or leave it, no one is going to force you into the game.

These wheels arn't necessarly for looks. Magnesium is stronger but lighter (less rotational mass/unsprung weight). More for the track.
