Braid Fullrace Wheels

Haven't yet purchased, but when I finally get around to getting summer wheels and tires, I'm pretty sure it'll be braid fullrace wheels. Probably gold. Gold and white are "free". Other colors are available.

In my mind, getting the exact offset, size, hubcentric fit and steel lined lug holes is worth the cost. Plus, they're fairly lightweight. 17.4 lbs for 17x7 wheels.

Anyone have any experience with these? Or the seller? Thoughts in general?

$240/wheel sounds about right for most cast wheels.

Well, they're $295 each, but they're also flowcast, which is like OZ's H.L.T. or Enkei's MAT flow formed wheels.
