Default Heads up on inexpensive alloys

Dunno if this applies everywhere, but these could be just the thing for people who want alloy wheels without the high cost-

Not fugly, anyway, and they're a very reputable outfit, solid guarantee, if they're in your area.

No, I don't work for them. If I didn't have a different style of MB wheels already, I'd buy 'em...

Those aren't half bad. I'd rock those in the winter instead of steelies. It's a nice alternative for those on a budget. You could also have your Goodyears transfered over to them for under 300 bucks out the door. Nice find!

If I had $200 to blow, I'd do it. Rockin' the steelies for winter is killin' me!

I didn't get the Weapons because I already owned a set of them; they were on my Prelude. I wanted to try something else. However, they look great on you xB!

I'd print out the page with them on it with all the info and take it to the store nearest you and tell to price match. It's only fair. If they won't do it contact corporate and see what can be done.
