I was thinking about getting a set of these before, but $1.2K for a set of replicas never seems right to me. You should offer more discount especially as a group buy, I remember seeing these on ebay for a lot less in 5x112 and 5x120 bolt pattern. They're the same wheels right? and probably from the same manufacturer, just different bolt pattern. LMK if I'm wrong.

Maybe I should have worded it differently, it's not that they don't care, they cant afford to go after replica companies. Which is the same reason why their wheels are ridiculously over priced.
Think about it for a minute. let it sink in. Didn't mean to question your brightness (you were a distributor for BBS, and you personally know people at bbs
) , just stating a fact without all the tangent reasons.
You clearly have no idea who you are talking to or what you are talking about. Go home, son!
I'm not your son, you go home.

wheeldude, can you answer my oringinal question?
do you have a deadline when will the GB expire? like if we can't reach 5 person by let say the end of august, then are we getting refunds on the deposit? or we are just stuck with the deposit, regardless of the time period?

Like I told you before you initially ordered, the deposits are only non-refundable IF THE ORDER GOES THROUGH.
If the order does not go through, we have no reason to keep your deposit
We don't offer those

These are not "soft" like the other ones on the market, they aren't made in the same factory. So no, they aren't the same wheels with just a different bolt pattern.
Check us out on e90post & e46fanatics...we sell these for $1299 to everyone, and people buy them because they have either had past experiences with the other versions or they like our look better (step lip, resembling the original better than the others)

Thanks Zoeb! Okay, we now only need three people for the hyper black.
1. LEXLEE
2. 2k2 R1
3. smokyis350 (?) - please confirm
4. Anyone else?
As soon as we have three people, we can all send the deposits together and get the production started right away.

^Yeah I'd like to know if locals will get a discount for pickup. We have to pay tax too! If I can get a further discount for local pickup then I'll be really tempted. And another thing.. what's the difference between hyper black and gunmetal?
