Default Where to get WORK wheels?

Where can I get the best deal on Work Wheels? I am looking at the Gnosis or Schwert Series. 19" definitely.

I actually got the best price quote from FXauto. I got the same quote from NigelJDM and ravspec and it was $900 higher. The price difference is so great it kinda has me wondering, but since they are right down the street from me Id be willing to give it a shot.

if they are $900 cheaper, theres something fishy about that. There's not even that much profit in it for the dealers in a set of wheels. Something is deff off about that.

If reputable dealers like Ravsepc, Nigel and D2Autosport are all giving you a price in the same ballpark, then some xyz vendor is saying $900 cheaper, I would even consider it.

Like I said, these guys don't even make close to $900 in profit on a set of wheels... so you really think this xyz vendor is going to loose money on the deal? Probably fake, or used, or he's just B.S.-ing you.

Haven't bought anything from Mark @ Ravspec, but so far his quotes have been the cheapest out of every other forum I have tried. A few of my friends have done business with him, and I have heard nothing but great things about Ravspec. I highly suggest you send him a PM.

agreed, i wouldn't buy something that's unreasonable cheap, if someone tells me i can get a set of work wheels for under $1000, i wouldn't even bother to think if they are real.

I was only buying 2 wheels and they were 15x10's so I think it may have been a miscommunication with the vendors I PM'd. Regardless of whether or not something could be fishy about it like I said in my post. I live 15 minutes away from their location and know them to be quite reputable.
