Um maybe there's a connection to the prior price paid and the fact that company is no longer in business.

Dave, I was looking at picking up another set of wheels rather than re-hooping mine again, and was shocked at the price of a set of Forgelines these days. I think I'll just re-hoop mine. The same wheels I paid roughly $3900 for five years ago would cost about $4900 now, and that is including about a $300-400 discount on the new ones. Blame it on the cost of materials and inflation, but Forgelines just cost more these days...

Oh I hear ya there. I think it's not a coincidence that no one has done the 20% off Black Friday deal last year or 2 that was popular every year and everyone seemed to pull the wheel trigger at that time.

I just didn't/don't think throwing a Driverz Inc invoice around as a "match this price" deal makes much sense.

Bottom line.... Really good wheels ain't cheap!
