They look great though! I have too many wheels in my office already.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
$3,600 is a no-brainer...would make a purchase in a second.
However, I'm on the fence. I like the Spec Multi but would prefer a 10-spoke wheel instead.

hmmmmmmm, I wish I could do better for you guys, but these wheels cost me alot to make. We're trying to concentrate on using the best of everything, and unfortunately that costs alot.

New photos coming on Monday! Aston Martin, Gallardo, and the 63!

+1.
Profile shots would help tremendously.

Also, are the CF 5ive and Spec 5ive wheels essentially the same wheel despite the carbon fiber overlay? If so, can the Spec 5ive be built with every other rivet exposed (as in the CF 5ive) instead of just the 10 rivets?

They're slightly different actually. The CF5ive is machined specifically to accomadate the Carbon Fiber layer. It has about a 1/16" layer of metal removed from the face and sides of the center disc. This also obviously shaves a little weight off also.

As far as the rivets, both the CF5ive and the Comp 5ive will have the 10 rivets only, and we are not able to offer it any other way unfortunately. The remaining 30 rivets are reverse thread, which in my opinion gives it a clean look.

Normal price on the site for a CLS 20" setup is a little over $7000 in CF Forged. I've knocked off about 8% +/- off retail. I wish I could do better for you guys, but like I said, these wheels cost alot to make, so there's not a whole lot of room to move.

Thank you for clarifying this.

Hmmm, I'm confused because your website clearly shows the CF 5ive with 20 rivets. As a matter of fact, the wheels on the Gallardo and CLS63 also have the same configuration. This is the look I prefer but without the CF overlay.

Yeah, that was a prototype piece, we have since changed the design slightly. We'll be offering them with or withot rivets starting in January.

I guess I'll never understand some business practices. You have a captive audience of MB enthusiasts, many of us on the fence to buy your rims if priced below the competition. Your rims are about the same price as many other 3 piece custom forged wheels. I am fairly confident if you dropped your price another $150 per wheel ($600 total) you would get a lot more sales. Ok so your profit margin shrinks but you will significantly increase your volume and more importantly make your customer HAPPY. We (customers) usually buy again if we get a good deal on a quality product. On top of that you would be exposing (advertisiing) your rims to the public more and I'm sure this exposure will get you more business. Just my opinion and I think it is an accurate observation. Good Luck and let me know if you decide to drop your price a bit because I need new wheels and I plan on buying a set real soon. Good luck either way.

OK, understood, and I appreciate all of your input.

Our CF Forged wheels, to be honest, we can't make enough of them right now, even at $7000 / set, we're selling every day so the price on that will remain the same. As far as our Competition Spec wheels, I think we can get slightly more competitive on pricing. Our retail prices will remain the same, however I am willing to offer a better discount to the site members:

How is this:
19" Comp Spec: $3900.00 / set
20" Comp Spec: $4100.00 / set

Let me know what you guys think

Looking forward to those additional pictures on Monday.
Do you have photos of the 63 with the Comp Spec Multi?

We're shooting the 63 with the Comp 5ive in a brushed finish with a smoked clear coat, they look incredible. We're installing them today.
