haha... i'm married now... money is an issue.. hahaha. but, 10's would of been nice.... but 9.5's were ordered. I am considering the R-spec. Steve at Carson said 6 weeks @ $7 bills.

$550 at Intense Motorsports.
$200+ for replicas.
I am working with a friend in SoCal to have some replica R-Specs made.... At this time, the replicas would be fiberglass. Carbon fiber is still being discussed. Bottomline is perfect fitment and getting our hands on a set of the Flares. Steve at Carson said 6 weeks. Hopefully we can get it sooner.
Again, this is just a though and perhpas a reality when the time is right. I myself, would settle for a set of R-specs, but like what everyone else said, they are just too damn expensive for little pieces of fiberglass.
Open for discussion.

That's true, but I'm not putting down the amount of power that would require that much rubber. I guess it doesn't hurt though.

If I can afford it in the future I'll get some nice wide wheels.
