Bought a US car mag on my way home.
Import Tuner.
Its a pretty shite read, but the parts in it are quite shocking!!
For example... a set of 4 17" Enkei rims with tyres, fitting, balancing and nuts - $739
Thats around £370

Ben, you obviously haven't heard of Enkei then.
They are a very expensive rim usually, the type you find on drift cars etc. They are kind of like the TD Prorace range IIRC.
