Default I think those wheels were maybe $1200 at most brand new...

and in the ad it says you're just getting wheels w/ no tires, right? I think $7-800 would be the most i'd pay

Tirerack has the ones I have on sale right now, they are the gray anthracite forged versions

Keep in mind that 19" wheels will have effects on your braking

? If you keep the total diameter the same how can it affect braking?

Default Forged is always better than cast for strength tho...

and i've heard that SSR's in general are fairly prone to bending easily.
