I've read it's $20,000 for a brake job when you replace the rotors!

Yeah, a $200,000 car will do that.

Drool...

The rim looks bigger with more space around the spokes. Easier to clean. Thats it I'm getting one... Yeah right.

those are sick...mostly because of the color. i love the stock 18s on my IS. i'm keeping them. a part of me wants a set of fat lip racing wheels, but my instinct is telling me to stay away from the tuner style. i got out of it when i sold my eclipse and i'm trying not to go back.
