Please do not intrude telling me I am exaggerated in my costs. I have sat down and gone through everything with reciepts to get a number, and due to my needing to sell the car soon, I decided to round DOWN as you now may see also excluding other such costs as tax, shipping costs, install fees, etc.
Thanks for the kind words.

That alone sets me at $6,ooo roughly- I'll leave out the tax and spacers I also had to pay. Then theres the

however the reason for what I said was because you had previous knowledge on modding the cars since you had your brother's show-car Golf. And with your knowledge and possible hook up the wheels/tires shouldn't cost that much. Unless you bought'em directly from DPE or someone ripped you off on those. The other stuff you've all gotten them for very good deals. As far as I know there's no extra charge for picking 2" lip or 3" lip / custom offset. The only extra is the brush finish.

Again frank, I appreciate your involvement. However please do keep in mind these are the prices I paid. If you would like I can give you the name of Fabrizio, the owner of EF1 who sent me to Mr. Ryan Castro, or JoJo to whom I dealt with to get the wheels. I am not here to play games with prices and thank you for telling me I over paid. However if you can keep that off the thread and in the PM's for common courtesy it would be greatly appreciated. My PM box is completely free if you would like to respond to this. Otherwise I would like to keep the debate on how I paid too much to a complete minimum for wheels and tires.
