If I remember my quote from Fikse last year for 18s, you are looking at around 1100-1200+ per wheel.

I can get you into a 3 piece wheel for less money.

Thanx Chris ,Frank and others for your help. Im realy liking the satin/brushed style finish on these things. $1100 or $1200 bux a rim is a bit over the top when im on a Aussie exchange rate. Im procrastinatin' on my wheel choice , i thought i had it sorted then i see these things
P.S Is it possible to get that brushed look done on other wheels if already polished ?

Yes, I have had this done twice. Polished wheels can be brushed with a scotch-brite pad..

Really is it that easy ?

Does is still retain a lustre and can you then polish it up with an alloy wheel polish ?

Any pics?
