Yeah, they are nice but not $800 nice.
They can be duplicated for about half that.

off topic, what is the weight of a stock xB steel wheel? I'm looking at getting some new wheels but want a size or two larger but do not want to exceed the stock wheels weight.

thanks a bunch for the links so far , I like that Diamond Racing has its price and sells the wheels itself, most shops are appearing to charge just as much to fabricate a bigger one than just finding a place that has them premade

The company discussed here appears to have disappeared, does anyone know of a company that either modifies the offset on steel wheels or builds custom steel wheels? In the Northeast would be best but anywhere is good.
