They are on the expensive side for mini wheels. The cheapest ones might just squeeze under the $1000 mark, above that you're supposed to add taxes on top once they turn up, and postage on top of that. That said they do look reallllllly nice! :D and they aren't very common over here.

For comparison, you can pick up a set of 6x10 miniflie wheels from Karcraft for about $400

I guess that is quite expensive in comparison. Just something about those 3 piece rims that looks dang fine.. im liking the black center with the chrome outer. alternatively ive got some very nice condition original hubcaps but would still like something a little standoutish..

A friend of mine runs force wheels on his race mini. Very light and damn nice looking as well.

These guys are meant to be a little cheaper and are still 3 piece.

I am running group 5 arches, also known as group 2 wide or race. Small amount of rubbing on full lock over bumps that could be sorted out with a bit more height!. I also run Metro turbo brakes so the front track is about an inch wider than normal 8.4 discs.

Theyre cheap compared to normal sized car 3-piece wheels. One 17" simmon is around $700, so $1000 for a set of 4 unique (in australia) wheels is good value imo!
