That seems kind of pricey for 17's. I paid $450/$475 for 18" Billet Specialties. Maybe it's the intricate design that makes them expensive.

$1900 for 17"s!!!!! i hope thats in canada other wise thats a RIP OFF.
body coddingtons *****in series can be had for UNDER $1000 shipped to your door in 17"s, you can even get the *****in series in 20"s for $2000. intros, budniks, colorado customs in 17"s can all be had for around $1500. and all three of those brands are undeniably better quality than centerline. if your set on the centerlines i would shop around a bit more, that price is ridiculous, you should be able to get them for $1500 or under. |

Depends on how they're made and who made them. The BBS wheels for example that I can get for my wife's new Jetta (the ones you get for very little money when you buy the Wolfsburg Edition) are a cool $800 a piece, but that's because they're made by BBS and are racing quality + they look cool as hell.
Do some research before settling on a set of rims. Try to put aside the asthetic quality and make it a logical decision vs. an emotional one. JMHO.

That definately sounds like a good price. Sharp looking wheels!
I just bought a set of 17's and 20's for my street rod and paid $1500 at the Street Rod Nats for a set of Colorado Custom rims. Your price seems pretty good.

Yeah I thought the price was ok. took 3 tire shops before anyone would talk to me...have to remember not to wear my coveralls when shopping. When you dress like a mechanic people think you are poor. Yeah cant wait to get them, just dont know what size rubber to go with yet
