Ok, here is it...only $400 each (full Japanese retail) in 18" (x8.5" or 9.5")...now you have an cost effective alternative to those POS knock-off Zenetti garbage rims...

This is the ORIGINAL wheel and now they make a 1 piece for pretty cheap...I think it only comes in a chrome finish...

enginyr - They only come in 18"...if you want 19", they expect you to step up to the 3-piece version... They may come out with larger monoblocks later though...

tinygs - Looks like better quality than the Zenetti's? I can guarantee they're better quality!

It's the same wheel but the one you posted (on GTA's site) is the three-piece version...

The one I put up is the one piece version...

are you talking about the Monoblock (1-piece) or 3-piece? Either way, BOTH come in 18x8.5...(take a look at the first post in this thread if you're refering to the Monoblock)

I like the deep dish, and the bolts around the rim kind of look, was debating longest time between Lowenhart BR5, C5, then the RCK, now the Weds

Anyways, I like the 3 piece Weds Cerberus best right now, any opionions on quality as compare to the 1 piece? I have a feeling I am asking a question that's been answered a thousand times. Please point me somewhere if someon has already addressed it before.

I am not looking for difference between 1-piece of 3 piece rims, but specifically, how's the 3 piece Weds Kranze Cerberus? is there advantages in terms of cost, maintanenace in the long run? and what is the price range I can expect to pay for these?

thanks

The 3-piece Kranze's are excellent...

The ONLY bad thing about 3-piece wheels (with exposed bolts in front...some brands, like Fikse have the bolts in back so you don't see them) is that brake dust gets in there and you need a toothbrush to clean 'em out...

Call Dave over at GT Autosports for prices...it'll be in the $3K range...

Is it just me? or does anyone else have the same problem reaching gtautosports?? I call the number off their website, no answer, just an answering machine about ~10 rings, and the message doesn't even say if it's the right number...,

is that the right number I am calling (602-437-1705)? or what is the best way of getting contact w/ them, or this Dave person?

thanks,
