I can get them for $3841 can, so far. I got to keep looking for a better quote although I'm likely to save a few more dollares but not a whole lot.

No. Tires aren't Included. I am starting a savings fund like right now. I'll post pics of the rims In the Spring time.

CCW custom wheels in FL can make you set of 18x10 rims (all 4) and allow 285/30/18's all the way around with no rubbing for $1800 approx for the FD. They have a similar look and are ultra lightweight. That is price without tires.

If this is for an FC then it won't fit.... just another option.

BBS RS IIs are heavy, in the 21 to 23 lbs each for 8 x 17 wheel...which isn't any wider than a stock 8 x 16 wheel?!

Yea, a little on the heavy side, I know.
