And I know they are very expensive (USD1500+/wheel??) Will there be a special introductory price to MBWorld members?

These days 18" are nearly passe- no demand for this size in the last year.
The wheel game: We can never come close to manufacturers of wheels in so far as range of styles and sizes. This new TS-6 is our own, patented design. The "form flow" process by which it is made is expensive, the multiple pass CNC machining is expensive, the finnishing is expensive etc. We made this wheel to seperate us from the crowd.
The hub design is directly influenced by the female rotor in our SC systems. The wheel actually draws air from under the car and forces it out of the face of the wheel. Each side is rotation specific.

KLEEMANN: A side question....why is there no reputable Kleemann distributor in Canada? There is one shop in Quebec that claims to be your dealer, but believe it or not, they dont even know there is something called Speed Sensitive Suspension. And after 3 days, they sent me a quote which is more expensive than buying from you directly. Ummm.....
Yeah, how many orders need to be filled in order to have a discount on those wheels?

Kleemann, those are some really nice wheels. I love the concept of directional wheels. If you are paying that much for wheels, you might as wheel get ones that are functional as well as beautiful. This is a HRE542R wheel.
Pretty sweet. huh? Forged center and priced about like that Kleemann wheel.

Did the estimate include installation? Just a thought.
With regards to the wheels, 5 would do the trick.

Yes- each wheel comes with a square meter of 1/2" grid chicken wire to keep trash, cups, dogs, children etc from being unwittingly sucked through the wheel.

A better rep? I think I will, for sure, do a better job than them.
I know Kleemann's dealer terms and conditions are pretty harsh. And I really wonder why that company can get the dealer status. But if your Canada rep is turning customers away, people will start to look for something else. Perhaps Canada is too small of a market for Kleemann. I can say there is the demand, only people dont know where to get your products. Everytime when Canadians think of all the taxes, duties and shipping of buying from the States, they will hesitate.If there are 5 orders, what will the discount be, roughly?
