Got them from thunder racing ,they had a good sale right before xmas, got the entire kit front and back, 2 piece rotors and polished calipers and all the lines and connectors, I was really impressed with this kit and also the tech support offered by baer, if your looking to upgade your brakes this is a great kit, highly recom. they aren't cheap with all the upgrade options but worth ever penny, i got the whole kit for $3,000 shipped--the rims are from intro gt sport ,polished billet alum 18".got a good deal from them and and were very helpful with setup.

average set of intro billet wheels will run anywhere from 1500-3,000 for that size.

Do you know off hand if that is a 2 peice wheel or is it cast with the appearnace of a two peice? I checked out thier site and couldn't really come up with anything other than pricing.

ShiftyCapone intro makes billet wheels....cast wheels are aluminum. billet is a more expensive, lightweight material. intro makes 2 piece wheels.....all 3 piece wheels will have rivets. you have to in order to call it a 3 piece wheel.

when you talk about looking on their site remember that companies don't publicly display all of their products on the internet. some are dealer only designs or even one off custom designs built by customers and demanded by others. just because you don't see something doesn't mean it isn't out there. just like my own wheels that weren't on bozeforged website when i was shoping and now they are.

on a 2 piece wheel the rivets would be fake...giving the appearance of a high dollar 3 piece wheel. having a 3 piece wheel is good for racing in that the extent your reck a barrel or "hoop" you can rehoop them rather quickly and get on with the race. they are nice for private owners as well in that if you bend a rim on the road you only need to get a new hoop...that or if you want to change the face down the road you just purchase a new one at a fraction of what a whole wheel would cost. more expensive in the beginning but cheaper in the long run.

as far as what the wheel is above you make your own judgement. 3 piece wheel would cost 1,000 a piece out of billet.
