Those Ronal pattern ones (http://tinyurl.com/3ws6m) I reckon. Ouch, sure,
but I'd have to say it's worthwhile. I paid $1100 for the 16"  version
myself. It's not quite as bad when you consider that they come with tires.
Ever since I switched, I can't understand why anyone stays with those
scary, wobbly, pizza cutter OEM 14's. It sticks to the road like glue,
practically ignores cross winds, and the road noise practically
disappeared. At the risk of sounding like one of those guys who swapped in
a subie or inline engine, I gotta say that once you experience it, you'll
never wanna go back.
