Oakos has good price and is a vendor here. They often have ebay auctions that'll save you $50 or so on wheels they are closing out or or whatnot.

Used is always the cheapest way to do things.

If there are "plenty of others cheaper" why don't you just go with one of those?

YEA THEY DONT HAVE 56.1 HUB BORE IN STOCK BUT THEY WILL SHIP OUT WITH FREE HUB CENTRIC RINGS.

Much better pricing then wheeldude and customer svcs also much better
I should of just purchased my wheels from racing lab instead .
next time ill purchase from racing lab.

The funny thing is both companies are a couple of towns apart from each other by San Fransisco California .

i'm guessing you didn't look at how much they charge for shipping did you? wheeldude charges $650 shipped for the same wheel with the same specs. that means racinglab is actually $4 more expensive.

thank you come again.

I wont get in to why I wont purchase from wheeldude again ! sale's guy knows why.
I have purchased from them when they were subydude and I can say it was a pleasure back then.

The same rims that I purchased from wheeldude were $745.00 dollars .

racing lab for the same rims with shipping comes out to $580.00 +$82.95 =$662.95 so its obvious that racing lab is cheaper plus their customer svc was much more attentive.
I did not get this from wheeldude . I just regret buying these rims from them !
It ain't happening next time !
