Apparently, one must sign up to view Facebook, I don't do Facebook. So, I have no idea what kind of a deal this is.  Rams

It's a closed group, so if someone isn't in the group they can't see it.... Respecting that it's a closed group I didn't include the person's name, but here's the basic listing:  And if anyone's interested, the link for the group itself that you'd have to become a member of to see the actual listing is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1031388463541442/

I don't see anything custom about them unless that shine is chrome. I had mine chromed a number of years ago for a lot less than $750.

Looks like spiky bat looking bits on the "spokes"... Definitely appears to be more than just chromed to me...

My guess is they are not chrome but polished aluminum and likely a cast wheel but billit is a possibility. The reason I think they are not chrome is that some of the machined areas are not shiny like the larger flatter surfaces. JMHO
