Dude those RE30's are some of the sickest wheels I have seen in a long time
Gloss Black is the sickness.

RE30 all the way.

I think the Prodrives are totally Vanilla in comparison.

RE30's will be $2800 for wheels only.
So you are talking apples and oranges.

Volks are still the jump off but thats just me.

Look at it this way they are still less than BBS's

black wheels FTL.

rumor mill is saying the RE30s are going up $200 a piece in the up coming months, so if you really want a set you best order soon.

Totally agree. I've had a couple sets...
I just love spending a ton of money on wheels that you can barely see. Useless.

My Volk 18 x 8.5 in Diamond Black arrive Friday of this week.

I am glad I got in before the $$$ increase.

Hope I can see them when I get home.

i see you removed the "not everyone and their brother will have them"

due to the rota replica you'll see alot of RE30 look alikes.

plus i know of more than a handful of RE30s either on order or already sold.
