Re:New rims from Yami 3 Years, 6 Months ago  
yeah, I agree, though you can probably get these discounted from some vendors. Choice of two is not really a selection. They are price comparible (maybe slightly higher) to other custom wheels in the market. An average wheel will cost you about $1K for an aluminum wheel, add $300 for chrome. So a pair of wheels will run you around $2600, add a pulley and your around $3K

Extremely pricey....

I just put my Chrome stock cast set on Ebay the other day. $1000.00 is a lot better and I think look just as nice. I've had people come up and ask if these were the new Yami wheels. $800 is the Reserve, for what it's worth....

Interesting. Is it on the wheel itself?

They're cast aluminum, so I'm not sure where "green" would come from. Black, maybe. But, not green...
