We did a group by on rays wheels here in norway.
Normaly the importer here in norway take about 5200usd for them (32 000 norwegian kroner)
I got mine for 2700 dollar (16500 norwegian kroner), tahts almost the same *** in japan! I could not manage to get the any cheaper here..

So im quit happy with it!
