well I want some brabus VI.. but I am searching online and they are over 500$ each!! even on Ebay they are a rip off.. this is for 18's

is this the going price or what? I thought I saw 1peice 18's for around 1200-1400 with tires sometimes!

Just keep your eyes open on eBay. It took me over a month to land a set of staggered Brabus V 18's for $1200 with relatively new PS/2's. I think it may also be a seasonal thing. Spring is probably the time that many are getting new rims for summer and getting rid of their existing rims.

Hmmm, ive heard some where that chrome is not ment to be painted over.

you can repaint paint, but chrome isnt really a color, its a type of metel. so I wouldnt really try painting over crome.

A reputable shop will media blast the rim before they paint it. Paint does not stick to chrome very well at all.

yeah but most rimms are sprayed and given a chrome look.....therefore when u wanna repaint them u just sand them out, and repaint
