Did you bargain a tad?!

Knowing your taste by now, I'm guessing you selected the sexiest & lightest model wheel they have lol. Offer them $4k cash, shipped, and I'm sure they'll break to that.

$3k is about what we get those for here (smuggled into China from HK I'm sure lol). Add your USA based dealer's shipping cost/import tax + his cut to that and you are looking at about a 4K deal from the state side. Reasonable deal I'd say

Bear in mind, you'll have some of the best looking and lightest wheels around for little money and also "you can resell those". Forged 6061AL wheels don't loose much value compared to an ebay cast wheel that has no resale value whatsoever. I often get pretty generous offers from other pcars guys around here for mines... wheels for sport cars are like shoes for women, GOT to shine lol
