I will admit that I think its funny when people are driving an 70-100k car and they ***** about service costs or obsess about doing the maintenance on the car themselves to save a few bucks from the "stealership".

Lets not forget..plenty of great independent mechanics out there who are trained and certified on Lexus ..same service but way less cost. I do believe that paying close to $250 to change one headlight bulb at the dealership is a complete rip off...people have done it...not me, I know betta

There's a reason the higher end wheel companies don't spend a lot ot time here on clublexus. People complain too much about prices and don't buy their product.
I'm not debating the value or worthiness of ADV1 to sell their wheels at a premium. I'm only saying if it's too much for your wallet, don't go around ******* them. Unless you have real, factual information of an issue that needs to be shared to the community. There are so many wheel choices out there to be concerned with the few who charge a high premium.

I can't agree. I'd say 10K is more the high side. In my experience, most forged wheels go between 4 - 6K for 19-20 inch wheels ( which is the majority used by clublexus members).
I've never bought a 21 and up so i can't speak on the cost for those sizes. Maybe the bigger wheels are what you are thinking of for 10K?

also, quoted from above:
As for the pricing - our concave line is not cheap but we offer our TRAKfunction/SFunction line which is a 3-piece fully forged wheel that retails for 4900.00 and obviously dealer pricing to the end customer is less than that. This is in line with any other custom 3-piece forged manufacture out there. Our monoblocks are around 6k. But the idea that every set we make is 10k is simply not true.
