I want to say 2800$ for a "normal" set, more for limited edition colors like these... 1100$ shipped from JAPAN..!!!

Very nice! You have a bit of work to do to get them back into great shape. They should look awesome when you clean them up!

Thanks everyone.... I know i'm always talkin subaru in a Vibe forum, but, you guys always make it feel "ok" as long as I keep it in here... Yeah, I got me some work to do for sure AJ, I have some ideas, i'm thinking once I fix them, i'm going to put a red, "time attack" line around the lip... I was going to paint them like a satin black, but they seem to match so well.. Better pics out in the sun...

Satin black with the red lip are beautiful, but your right, they match your car very well. I still like the idea of a red lip though...

Well, i'm going to have to paint the lip regardless, so I might as well do it red, so i'm not trying to match blues... The rest of the dings I can live with I think to keep the limited edition color...

If you were thinking a gold lip, personally, I think it would look WAY out of place..

yeah come to think of it, a gold lip might look out of place. sorry, not at work today, i'd photoshop a mockup.red definitely would be a nice accent though.like i said. suweet wheels!
