thank you bbs.com
Unless you really want them new, for that price, I would look at something used... for example: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3506277

So for around the same price you're also looking at an 18" 2-peice forged wheel as opposed to the cast 17" 2-=peice RX II.

Just my opinion...

if the set of wheels cost more than 10% of the cars value, they are too expensive to go on it, thats my theory.

but typically you pay more for multi piece wheels and forged wheels which is why they're more expensive and higher quality. i wouldn't pay 600 for a one piece wheel

So those BB RX II im looking at
$640 a wheel
$2560 for 4wheels + tax as well
is that to much?
