McLaren 650S on 3-Spoke PUR Wheels Courtesy of LP Auto - Motorward (http://www.motorward.com/2014/08/mclaren-650s-on-3-spoke-pur-wheels-courtesy-of-lp-auto/)

I'm sure they're WAAAAY out of my price range though.

I think they look a lot like these Advan wheels for our cars:

yes, they are very similar to super advan's (sa3's or whatever). Those have been discontinued however. A set recently went up for sale on ebay that was the perfect size and i can only assume offset for a 3/s. I hesitated overnight, and it was gone.

"The_kid" on here had those wheels for sale on the Swedish board a while ago if I remember right. Could check with him. Shipping Sweden- Germany isn't that much I believe. Less than overseas anyways.

Far too late for me. I'm out of here in less than a fortnight. Back to the states, where the only 3 spoke wheels are all on crotch rockets.

Talked to one of the distributors. $1800 each. File that under YGBSM.

Sounds something like when I was getting paint mixed last week. Lady said she had a guy come in and ask about a color. She looked it up and it came to $2000 a QUART. That doesn't even include activator, clear, etc.

File that under FUCK THAT!

They are advertising them on a McLaren... you thought they would be cheap?

I don't consider $3,000=4,000 a set to be cheep. I get that there are construction/quality differences at lower prices...but at that price, you're just paying for name--not quality.

I'll be happy to see their company go bankrupt in a year. They're not offering anything remarkable enough to warrant nearly that kind of stupid markup.
