You can find them for between 300 and 400 a wheel depending on the dealer. Personally I have a buddy here in Mississippi who was able to get them for me at a special price so basically I paid about 1350 for them.

Are you dropped at all? I only can find specs for it saying its 18x7.5 with only a 40 offset... You rub at all?

actually I went with the 17 by 7.5 because I didnt feel like going through the issue of rubbing but i'm quite sure they make a larger size to fitand no I dont have it dropped yet. Looking now for a digital cam to take some pics.

They were actually a shade over 1200 the earlier posted price of 1300 included taxes and some shipping. Plus the make detata is one of those overly expensive companies but I liked the design anyway and was able to get a sizable discount as becuase if you call and check im sure they run around 350-400 per wheel.

Yea, liquid x I did but the graphite pearl is a darker finish, I wasnt sure and the wholesaler wasnt either that it would look tight on a dark color like abp. As far as price its not significantly cheaper than the chrome because the finish supposedly just came out. But I did consider them.
