About $120-$140 a wheel. I spent some time researching online to find the lowest price, then I went to Discount Tire and had them price match. I had found a site that offered free shipping as well, so that made a huge difference.

Tire Crazy is a good website to look for these wheels at. I think the other good site where a majority of people order from is nlmotoring.com

Again, I had to dig around on the internet to find the lowest price shipped. Unfortunately I don't remember which site I used. Sorry

They're replicas. The same as Rota wheels. A ton of people are happy with Rota or XXR, but you'll still get crap from the crowd who thinks if you don't spend $3,000 on a set of wheels then you're not worthy of driving this car.
Don't listen to those guys. Make your own decisions.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wheels that cost $3,000. In fact, I've been looking at my 3rd set of wheels being Ray Gram Lights 57FXX...but if you like cheaper wheels and you're not worried about a few extra lbs of weight...then go with the replicas and start thinking of other mods you can fund with the money you just saved.

I will say this about replicas. If you damage them or get curb rash it's so much easier to just buy a new wheel for $130 than if you were to damage a $300 wheel. Also, used replicas don't sell well. With the prices already being super cheap...most people can get a brand new set for close to what most people will try to sell them used for.

Good luck! Keep us posted on what wheels you decide to go for!
