Also, I don't like how your price is for locals. $1250 for locals? I mean when you ship it, it cost $50 for paypal fee. And shipping itself will be $100+. I will be paying cash also.

sales tax is $113.66 on $1299, making the shipped total to CA residents $1412.66

In reality, shipping only costs me $75 on these. Pick up price should be $1337.66 when tax is added. Paypal fees are $38 on that amount, so if you were paying cash total should still be $1300

However, I like to take care of my local customers so I give an additional $50 off to people picking up.

I think that is more than fair....Unfortunately there is no way around CA sales tax, i'm not going to risk getting in trouble with the IRS over a $1300 sale, we've been around for too long for stuff like that

Yes, they are very similar to that finish

Gunmetallic is more of a solid color

the hyper black is more of a reflective, black chrome type color

If you guys want to come by and check them out in person, I have them here in BMW fitment

That looks great! I am sending my deposit today. Whoever interested in these wheels, let's get deposits in so we can get the production started ASAP! I just need two more people.

does the color match perfectly to the BBS LM DBK? If someone would walk up close to the replica? What would be the difference? No bbs center caps, bbs trademark on the wheel, what else?
Looks pretty close to DBK to me.

On a Black IS350 - Great work from Seize. I have a Black Onyx IS350.

I read somewhere that BBS center caps fit on these wheels which you can buy from Ebay.

Come on Smoky! Let's get the production started.

Zoeb said he would put in the order for production with just three deposits for this hyper black color. So, if you join, we have three people and can get the production started right away. These weigh around 23.5lb/25.5lb front/rear according to BMW forum.

I was seriously considering these earlier today due to the price mainly, but after more pics and staring at these on different cars I just can't get over how small the wheel face is. The wheel looks like all lip and hardly any mesh area. In a way it's like an illusion that your 19's are closer to looking like 17" wheels. I just can't do it. Guess I'll hold out for something else down the road.
