I don't think you would even have the extra $100, especially if you plan to put any tires on the rim. But those rims are pretty damn cool. They only weight like 8lbs a piece.
no im saying if i had 1600 to spend on spoon wheels id rather spend 1500 (375 each) on Ti con rods and then just spend the extra 100 on whatever.

I like the Spoon SW388 with "Spoon Sports" written in yellow on one of the spokes. The rim is crazy expensive though, i think its like $400 a rim.
but they what like 8 or 9 lbs a piece

They are are like 8.5lbs or something like that. Its prolly why they are so expensive, and they are Spoon. Think about the unsprung weight you will lose with them.

That's not crazy expensive. Try Kinesis wheels. They make some of the best performance wheels on the market.

All the websites i saw selling the wheels say to call them to get a price. But it looks like they are installed on some really high end cars.

Hey Marty where was you going to get your wheels from? I was going to buy some slips from ride rev. because they had them on sale in feb. But went up there and they tried to jerk me around.

Same here, I went to Ride and they told me to come back during the week to order. I simply cant do that as I work from 5:30pm to 6:00am and dont get in bed till around 8:00am.

Sacs I'm seeing anywhere from $450 to $550 shipped, I now have decided on a set of 16x7 GT3's gloss black with a polished lip.
