These wheels are $1200 a wheel if I'm correct, ($4800) that's only a $1800 dollar increase over the wheel offered by GM in 1998 for the Vette, ($3000) that seems about right seeing that was 15 years ago for the GM wheel so the price seems spot on. And Fran cannot negotiate the same deal as a large-multi national corporation.
