3k for forged wheels is a normal price.

~$600/wheel is NOT bad for forged. That ~$500 shipping charge puts it in the league of other common forgings that you *can* get here.
~15.5lbs for 18x9 is pretty insane though. |

I think I found an inexpensive replica wheel from STR that looks similar.
 More info. http://www.str-racing.com/products-page/str-racing-wheels/str-609-matte-black/ Does anyone have experience with STR? |

The point of getting the TWS would be the weight not the looks, and those arent really even a copy but a similar design.

Definitely a copy. Just a shit one.
Can't see a cast wheel of this design taking a single pot hole hit and surviving. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk |

17x8 +42 is 6.32 kg (about 13.9 lbs). Too bad they're so darn expensive, though for what you get it's not bad at all.
