Their stuff looks good to me. Too bad they are like so many wheel manufacturers that want $1K+ per wheel. $4K for a set of rims, $2K for tires, plus lowering. Yikes!!! I know they have quality stuff, but somebody should make some rims you don't have to bend over to be able to have on your car..

Amen, it is retarded to charge so much for wheels. They have a computer design and cut the wheels. Yea forged metal may cost more. But at the rate in which the companies buy it I'm sure it does not cost that much. Just don't see why wheels should be sold for three times it cost to make them.

Actually, a set of Schott wheels starts around $3,000 for a set. That's fully polished 20 x 8 1/2 fronts, 20 x 10 rears and all mounting hardware.

A lot of the cost is for liability.

Let's not turn this into a thread about wheel costs. I personally whole-heartedly agree with you guys, but the fact is, the prices are what they are and they aren't going to change. The market has spoken- people will buy at these prices at a high enough rate for these companies to make money. It is what it is...
Let's get back to talking about Schott

Don't bash the wheel makers. If you can't afford them then buy a set of cheaper wheels guys. Pretty simple.
