The full carbon ones are Wedsports. They are just prototypes and most likely will never see production. I imagine if the Dymags are ~$2500 a wheel, the Weds are probably going to be at least ~$3-4k per wheel since they have a full carbon face.

Nope, I wish they were $3,000 per wheel

They are actually &5,000 per wheel. Out of reach financially for most of us. But they are incredible!

Damn, $20K for a set?

It's like buying a new "base model" scion XB with taxes and licensing.

Yup, you are right, it is from Wedsports. www.weds.co.jp

From what I read, they are still under development but it might actually see to production within 2008.

Beautiful Intake man. I'm trying to get the Monster Sports intake for the Evo 8 ( around the same price). To all thoughs ppl that complain about the price........ I think the reason that most intakes from Japan cost so much is because of all the carbon, and engineering put into them. I personally like the tuning methods of the Japanese ( Balance ), and improving an good intake system from the factory to a better is great!

Oh and like I read many times..... " You get what you pay for."
congrats on the intake system.

$$ aside, I think your ride will really look HOT if you have other CF trimings on the exterior PLUS this set of rims. I always find that CF parts blend best with White rides.

When is your AMUSE coming in? Do share your feedback please.

I have got my TRUST PE-II on for 2 weeks now and loving every minute of it.
