There definitely not cheap. But i have yet to ever see a better quality custom wheel. It's all i'd ever put on my cars. As for pricing, let me know which series and size you are interested in.

You put SSR's on your C230.. but that's okay because it's a W203

HRE's on your C55, and now HRE's on your Viper.

It goes right back to same point of what you are getting for your money. Most of the "german rims" that you refer to are cast and made in a very limited number of fitments. So in essence you are getting a heavier, weaker wheel that is not custom crafted and spending the same money just for the name. Most tuners outsource wheel production anyway to manufacturers such as OZ, BBS, etc etc
