What does $2,000 get you?
Ok, so I pretty much gave up on my G-games...its going to take 2-3 months to get them in the right bolt pattern/offset so f*ck it...I'm just gonna get some really nice wheels and be done with it. Question is, I can't really find anything REALLY nice for no more than $500 per wheel. I'm going to see if I can work this guy to sell me the new Racing Harts for $2,000 shipped...who knows..Anyone know of some really nice wheels for 500 a piece?
Maya's go for like 700+
Volks go for 650+
DPE's go for 700+
HRE's go for 700+
And no, dont recomend Ron Jon wheels....The only ones I like are the Devotions and they don't make them anymore! The Inspyres have got to be the ugliest wheel i've seen
And no Axis wheels lol...they all seem to be knock-off's of more expensive wheels....Jaber doesn't roll like that

Where did you buy your rims from?

Oh, you'll curb a rim...eventually. I didn't curb a rim for the first 10 years I had my license. Bought a TL, curbed two OEM's and one Devotion 3pF...OEM's are good ones, the Devotion (twice, same wheel) is very minor.
RH's, OZ, and SSR (if you can find them since they're out of business) are good...personally, the only OZ wheels I like aren't their cheaper ones. Of the high-end brands you listed, I'd go with Volk or HRE (love to know where you can get them for $700). And while you hate Axis, they do make a good, affordable wheel...wheel and tire sets for around $2k.

I have heard this from a few different people. I have had mine for 6 months now and they are holing up great. No complaints so far!

Your question and dilemma is the reason I got Apsec's. TOO MANY CHOICES and couldn't see in person.

Oops, my bad. The ruff 281's in black are $860 a set. Here's a pic and an eBay auction (not for the right offset but they are available in the correct sizes for our TL at the same price)...

What kinda Falkens do you have? If it is 150 a wheel then tires cost around 1000 for the set?
