I'd like to get a set used if possible. If I can't find used, I'm going to have to contact you Rat.

Mr. Rat,

author says "....expensive...."

I opined what I thought was in the ballpark -

bottom line, what IS a realistic cost for an RR pair?

thanx,
Curt

John in all honesty they are not designed or HWY use. One good pothole and they could be trashed. Awhile back it was discussed on the BadWeb

okay, forgive me, for I am a newb to all things XB, but what is so special about RR wheels? Are they considerably lighter or what? I looked up the XBRR and the wheels look the same as XB wheels.

Phelan, if memory serves, they're about 30% lighter than the stock XB rims.

The hell with it then, looks like carbon fiber ones. Let the hunt begin.

I'd have to check with the race team boys, but I think it's a change from aluminum to magnesium for weight savings. Same casting though. I'll look up pricing today at work, I go in at 11...
