Find one piece cast wheel thats this concave and looks this good and are this light and I will match the price. These are vossen wheel prices with more exclusivity so I think the price is pretty reasonable.
You pay for what you get at $250 per wheel. Those who have been down this road know exactly what I'm talking about.

These are Adv.1. It's their new cast wheel line they make for BMWs, MB and other select fitments. I just spoke with Miguel and Jordan at Adv.1 two days ago about these exact wheels with the exact pictures and bought a set per our conversation. Don't know why GMP won't just say that.

Interesting...they looked like ADV1 which is what I pointed out in my first post. A low pressure cast wheel set should run in the range of $1000 - $1600 per set in a comparable strength and weight specs to each other...that's ussually the ballpark from what I've seen

Sure take you pick...such wheel sinclude but are not limited to (off the top of my head) Kosai K1, DForce, SSR, BBS RX, ASA, several choices from Ronal, Enkei, etc...etc...there are many and severla of these brands of wheels on Tirerack.com among other online sources...they are all fairly light weight wheels and good enough for track or street usage. I do not subscribe to "You get what you pay for " in every case, in some yes BUT not in every case, but for a cast wheel not really as true as when you compare the different types of forged wheel structural and build proifles. Low pressure casting is not an expensive process, caomparitively speaking in wheel manufacturing processes...SSR used Semi-solid Forging for many years with a pricepoint around $400 or so per wheel. I am not new to the wheel game Markup on these wheels is considerable but they are nice looking for sure, not going to disagree there.

Markup on these wheels is considerable but they are nice looking for sure, not going to disagree there.I just went to BBS's website plugged in the SL and they dont offer a single wheel in 20" under $700 per wheel and they dont show the RX as fitment and none of BBS wheels have a concave profile like these Flow specs. I also went on tire rack's website and they dont have one wheel on their site for the R230 SL under $700 per wheel that has a staggered set up for the SL. They do have 20" wheels on their site under $700 per wheel but they are 20x8.5.
I have not heard of Kosai or K1 or Dforce as we dont carry them but I have heard of the others and I would be interested to see if they carry any 20" staggered set ups as well.
I do agree they are expensive for being cast but I do find, looks aside, that they are similar quality and just as light if not lighter than Vossen and their 20" cast wheels are right around the same price and they are made in larger runs.
With smaller runs your less likely to find others with the same wheel.
Glad you do like the wheels though
