18" set / $1490.00
I hope that price is in peso's....... cause that would even be a stretch IMO.

there was a wheel way back in the day that had a CF finish. I think it was a Moda design. That wheel you posted CF design looks very cheap.

the m3 csl is INDEED production, you can buy it if you are in europe, though you will pay a lot and you still might not get it. and it even has the racing slick tires

LOL, the "slicks" are road legal tyres. They do have some tread on them.
The CSL is a nice track car though.
