Default Forge-Tec Rims - Sold only @ Lexus?

So, these guys only sell to dealers...and my dealer wants 7K for rims and tires...and my guess is that there is at least 150% markup on these, maybe more....but according to Lexus, there is almost no difference in the ride...however you will go through the tires much faster...any ideas where we can get these for less

I love the FT04! - I saw them on a GX in the showroom and wheewww, now I am thinking of pulling the trigger...but not at 7K...

The FT04 is definitely hottt! I like the FT55 as well but the FT04 is definitely cleaner looking. I don't like the look of the FT56 too busy for my taste.

Anyways, try and get a definition of "dealers" because a while back when my brother was working for Toyota he use to buy high performance parts from various manufacturers using Toyota's Tax ID, etc. Toyota would make a 20% profit on it which was better then for him to pay full price. If that's the case with this company then stop by some store and see if their willing to do the same thing for you i.e. order it under their name for a 20% markup or something that's agreeable to the both of you.

Good Luck!
