I say I'm not comfortable giving a price because I don't want to give a price and you expect it to be around that much. Then when you go to order the wheels, it turns out to be much more than I said...if indeed they are custom, the price could be double my estimate....you just really can't tell. Lets also not forget about tires for these wheels. Tires will set you back about another $1k since you can't put some some cheap wal-mart brand 225/60/16. I think you will have to go with 245/40/18 in the front and probably 265/35/18 (mabye wider) in the back. Also, something that I just thought about is that car has aftermarket front fenders which are wider than the stock ones. If you get a set of wheels exactly like that, you will more than likely have to buy the fenders so they will fit without rubbing. The bright side to this is that the fender set is only about $550. At least something with this setup isn't expensive :D

I think you would be better off with BF Goodridge g-Force KDs. A road racer friend of mine says they are the best street tires he has ever owned. Check out some of the reviews at tirerack.com. I plan on putting a set of these on my supra very soon since my KDWs are getting bald.
