If you do, throw up picts and specs... But damm, $1,570—$1,630 is nuts.

Is this per wheel or for the full set...I'm guessing that tires for this will cost you an arm and a leg...

That pricing is no different then buying HRE's or any of the other high quality forged wheels. You get what you pay for.

They've been out for a year and I still haven't seen anyone buy them. I don't know what they were thinking when they discontinued the Scara in step lip for 19" and 20".

Well you might be onto something with " you have to pay to play " however a little common sense also goes a long way why would you make it a 21" when those size tires really aren't that popular....?

Was thinking the same thing, a year and no one has them, with so many "Ballers" on this board, ppls with Hybrid LS, IS-F, GS Hybrid, Boosted Lexis etc...

That damn price is ridonkulous.
Even most Rays are not that much. Some HRE's are but your getting some top notch materials and engineering from them.

I don't think even if I have the money to blow I would spend 8K on wheels and tires unless the ride was bringing in money like that itself...
