Two sets on Ebay right now one asking $4,800 and the other $3k. One description says the dealer price is "as much as $2798.00 OR MORE PER RIM." That is pretty damn expensive for OEM wheels, then again I know some of the AMG wheels are around that price.

Is it only me ?, but I think the GT-R without wheels, looks like one of those flying cars from the future.

I think the owner is a clown for leaving a car like that outside and with no wheel locks. The stock wheels are ugly as hell anyway. The thieves did this guy a favor. I would go and get some 20" Volks or BBS
