i honestly have a feeling for 200 a wheel they're going to be cheaply made and will probably not last too long expecially for racing applications.
i'm just calling it now but when people say they're bending i'm just gonna say i told you so.

I know its a dead old thread but I was actually really looking into these wheels because of their weight and the size. These would allow me to run a wider contact patch on a 225 with a stiffer sidewall perfect for STS class in Auto X.
Anyways I just called Raceline after desperatly looking for a dealer online and I asked the rep and he said all the wheels ever where, where a prototype that was never made. They do offer to same style wheel in aluminum alloy but the Magnesium design was never passed.
There were zero made so its impossible to find these on the market.

ugh....
I remembered seeing this thread a year ago and always kept the wheels in the back of my head. I stumbled upon the thread today and decided to find a set of these wheels for Auto X. I called raceline but he told me the wheels were never made,
So I decided to update the thread to basically close it down. It was all in the post I made.
