THE CARBON BLADE WHEELS ARE HOW MUCH EACH?!?!?!?!?

I managed to badly kerb my left rear a few days ago, when turning into a carpark entrance some idiot coming the other way veered right across in front of me forcing me to swerve across the corner of the concrete guttering to avoid them. Luckily it only damaged the edge of the rim with no damage to the spokes or blades, and I cleaned it up 100% better with a Dremel and some steel wool, but the damage goes 1/3 around the rim and looks bad under close examination.
For that reason I'm considering swapping out the Blades for the Coventry Whitleys off my XFR, they fit perfectly.

There is a nice thing about powdercoated rims. Minor damage is easily fixed/touched up and major cosmetic damage is fixable by stripping and repaint (usually $75 or so).
Let my 'girlfriend' drive when I've had more than two drinks so with CF wheels?? -- each beer would cost me $600+.
CF wheels look the best on polaris white cars with chrome (vs black pack) - the 'chrome' lip brings it all together. CF wheels on black cars - barf. IMO of course.

yeah you have my fav style of wheels for our cars, but honestly im with the base 18"s call me boring but i love how the tire profile is 40.. it legit soaks up bumps really well. something most people cant say with thinner tire profile and bigger wheel sizes

Yep, $1,299 US a pop both front and rear, which in my case converts to $1,750 AU each, and that doesn't include shipping. Here in Oz they are a $6,800 option on a new F-Type, so very close to the same cost. I don't really know why they cost so much, but I read somewhere they are forged not cast, which might be true because when I closely inspected one a few days ago it had zero markings on it anywhere inside or out. It may also be due to the carbon fibre inserts which appear to be real and not fake.

Easiest way to check is to bung one on the F-Type and see what it looks like!
