Cool...I didn't download the catalog.

Be prepared to suffer some sticker shock...  :o

Yeah, I downloaded their catalog, and we're looking at right around $3500, and that is sticker shock for me.  I was hoping there was another product out there for significantly less, and that looks like guys Clayton mentioned that widen and chrome stock wheels.  I think my desire for new wheels has diminished.

      Contact Brian Veney of BVD designs. He does custom metrics and has deals with quite a few manufacturers. Off the top of my head, I know he can get hella good deals on Ridewright rims. There are many
      more options than just RC.
