looks like these arent happening anytime soon :(

i went to the auto art store in pasadena, ca on tuesday and saw these wheels. i called the company, based in florida, to see how much they go for and what not. a rep just called me now. 19x8 and 19x9, any offset i want, any color i want (hyper silver - pictured, gold, gunmetal and hyper black) $2920 to my door. that comes out to ~$730 a wheel. not bad considering theyre 3 piece and essentially one off's but i just cant afford that right now

contact one of our vendors here and see how much they can get you the work VS-XX for to fit the sedan, they're the same wheel looks wise.

or if you dont want to spend alot of money you can look into the AXIS Penta wheels, same mesh design, but its a cast one piece so its much less expensive.

ok those are good! haha! i dont knwo if you notice on the autoart one, but the surface is completely flat. i love that! some other companies make the same design but the surface is curved out and you dont really see the acpest of the deep dish. the vs-xx, are good. they barely curve out and i liek that. ill call a few places and get pricing/fitment.

wtf 31lbs is way too heavy and way too expensive. You are getting ripped off in my opinion. The work vsxx will be a lot lighter...you can't go wrong with work wheels.

you have a sedan, right? that pic that you showed us probably has a low disk with a really low offset, getting that flat face with big lip. with your sedan, you will probably run higher offsets, so no matter what wheel you end up getting, you probably won't be getting a flat face.

sorry to burst your bubble...
