When I called Centerline they wanted like $260 a piece for the polished one's then I think an extra $80-$100 for each rim if I wanted them chrome. They also were going to charge I think like an extra $100 to ship the rims. So if I wanted to get the rims from them it would have been well over 1K just for the rims before tires. The cheapest I can find the centerline's for are $837.22 shipped. So add on an extra $378.50 for tires and the total comes to $1,215.72. I would still need to get the tires mounted/balanced, set of special lug nuts, and valve stems for the rims.
If I was to go with option #2 those Liquid Metal Static rims for $707 shipped it would include a wheel install kit (lug nuts and tool) and chrome valve stems. Add the tires on and my total would be $1,085.50 which is less then the Centerlines and also have 2 more things over buying the centerlines.
Its a hard choice I like both rims the only thing that has me going towards the centerlines more are is most certainly the weight. I don't expect the Liquid Metal Static rims to be as light as the Centerlines. The Centerlines are around 15lbs each and the Liquid Metals are most likely around the 24lbs to 28lbs range. However even if I get the Liquid metals it will still be less weight vs my stock rims and tires. My stock rims and tires weight 51lbs each (204lbs total) vs a possible 47lbs each (188lbs total) with the Liquid Metals. However if I was to get the Centerlines and tires it only be 38lbs each (152lbs total). I would be saving a total of 52lbs or 16lbs off my car with my new rims/tires which would be great.
