those are the wheels i've wanted forever, but couldnt justify 4k for wheels, esp when i'm getting air. have you been quoted what the ordens would cost in 20s?

on a side note, my air is coming in a couple days......

Soon. And the Rapiers didn't work. With the 3mm spacers, it still rubbed the calipers.

Thanks man. But I'll probably go with something else. I don't think I'll have enough tread on the studs/nuts if I add a 5mm spacer. I barely had enough with the 3mm.

And no. I did not get a quote on the Ordens.
