I was at the dealership a couple of weeks ago checking on prices for the 5 spoke srt wheels. I was in shock when they told me that the fronts were only $800 and rears $900 a piece. So I asked for a price on my 10 spokes $2200 fronts and rears $2700 a piece. Whats up with that. Why so cheap for the five spoke srt wheels.
The prices always depend on the material that the rim is made of. 5 spoke are easier to manufacture but that shouldn't be worth more then a $1k for each wheel.
Some places look up the "SRT" 5 spokes and refer to those as the Copperhead wheels, then there are the FE 5 spoke wheels. I thought those cost more. Are you sure you were quoted on the right 5 spoke wheels.
Only if you knew what DC pays for these from the manufacturer!!! Most cast aluminum rims are purchased by OEM's for $50 to $100. With the low volume and large size of the Viper wheel, they are probably still under $200 a piece.
