1200?! wow...that's kinda high isn't it? I'm selling mine for $500 shipped...no tires, but only 100 miles on the rims. I haven't seen stock rims go for that much...
This is why I'm a big advocate of the MS/Rays wheels. People are frightened initially at the asking price, but it's easy to justify.
For those of you concerned about the car holding value, you will have to keep your stockers if you go with any other wheel brand. Those of you who opt for the MS/Rays can consider your stock wheels a Core Exchange.
If you buy from Josh at RonTonkin Mazda, he runs a great deal on these wheels at $400/ea. That's $1600 for the set. Assuming you sell your stockers for $600, that equates to $250/wheel for genuine Forged RAYS wheels designed specifically for MAZDASPEED! That is an accessory upgrade and will in fact increase the value of your car.
