Thanks Kall and thanks Taka for ringing.
I checked out their website (Enkei's) but of course no price list.
Pricing aftermarket rims seems to be somewhat of a black art (or perhaps as simple as what they think they can get away with
).
Hmm, wonder if I can find someone really dumb with an XR8 or somethin' and sell my "exclusive" OEM wheels to them (sans Mazda caps) for $2,500??

All businesses have people who are extremely happy wit service and others are not. Its just like insurance companies, some people are really happy, and others arent. LIke my case atm, ive heard shocking things about my insurance company however so far they been great to me.
