Question Is this a good price for Gettins?

I got quoted 4200 for chrome Gettins 20x8.5F and 20x10R this is with shipping. Is this a good price?? What type offset should I get? if I do decide with these wheels? I was thinking 44F and 48R for the offset? I like that real low look, would I rub. I have adjustable height suspension. thanks

You know, I think that may be a good price based on the recent price restructuring at Arrow Enterprises (Gettin manufacturer). The company recently had some financial woes and were facing possible bankruptcy. They restructured, however... at least so I believe. JDMSC4 may have more information on this. This situation was addressed in this thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...5&pagenumber=1

But my point is, that the price that Lettuce is getting may be a good one based on the new pricing structure. But I dunno.

panda..well, in ddec/03, arrow did not want to accept any order and $$$.

though last word from japan from last few days revealed that they did not went thru bankruptcy as originally intended; however, many of their rims and parts are out of stock. as far as resume regular production as usual, the delivery time still needs to be confirmed

your new "choice" is as good, if not better, esp in terms of rarity ..AND, i might have some good news for you next week

Good detective work my man! and Yes I absolutely am more than satisfied with my "choice" especially since I havent seen anyone besides the particular people we already know post in any other car forum out there with the "choice" , and if those "choice" wheels get here sooner than expected i'll be one happy camper!

sorry everyone for being redundant about the "choice" but it will remain a secret until all mods are done and then car will be unveiled.

Lettuce, using the prices on Arrows website, I came up with $3850 just for the wheels and hardware.

No lugnuts
