I guess they haven't had and takers on these yet..

To sweeten up the deal, they are throwing in a Bentley GT with any purchase of four of these wheels...


I am serious when I say this!

Any takers now?

A Black GT with those wheels for car show use only or special events = Game over
Stock wheels for driving

I know they make carbon fiber "covers" for specific Rims (Like the Racing Hart CR Knock offs), but the only CF wheels I know of are for Motorcycles.

If they throw those wheels in with the purchase of a Bentley GT, I might consider it

What kind of car would match with these wheels? They are more expensive than a Ferrari Enzo.

They should be slapped on a Bugatti
