they weigh like 17 or 18 pounds...In my opinion, they are the nicest rims on the market right now besides a set of HRE's or something like that...They're different, clean, and badasssss! And no they do not make them in 22" - the largest size is 19", I don't know where that guy gets his info....

oh nooo, CF rims? Carbon fiber on a car is like Jewelry on a woman, (ie. rings, Necklace, earrings... crap like that) only looks good on where its supposed to be. what is the purpose of normal wheels coverd with CF on top? cuz it looks tacky and probaby weights alot...

Rep Power: 0 my civic's black - yum...nice jewelery looks good any where on a hot chick, I agree too much c/f is overkill, but if you're going with gunmetal rims or black rims, and you maybe have a c/f hood - why not go with the matching wheels??? That's just my opinion, I think they're sick!
And the only other company that makes anything similar is that crappy Armano garbage, but it's not real c/f it's painted to look like fake carbon fiber. That's why it says "carbon fiber LOOK" on the ads...I've seen them in person, they are horrible, and they sell them at discount auto parts, need I say more.

Rep Power: 0 I spent $1390.00 shipped for 18's! And that's not my Scion, that was on their web site...I have a black '04 SI, with a carbon fiber hood.
They have them now at 15% off though for Christmas orders, I called for a 15% credit but they said no since I ordered before the sale, but they were cool, he offered me a bunch of stickers, and T-shirts and stuff, so I'm happy
If anyone is thinking about getting them I suggest you get them now that they are on sale, because the price goes back to normal on December 5th...

Rep Power: 285 Did the $1400 include tires ??
If it did that a good deal, if not it's aight.
The thing I don't like about black or real dark wheels, is when you start moving it simply looks like you have steelies with no hubcaps. Looks all great sitting in the parking lot, but not when it's moving.
It's got the carbon fiber and the polished rim, so it's enough to look a little different though.
