they rear are ET50 the front are .25inch more with ET50 so you get a little more on the front what makes the car more direct in the corner

Congrats, again.If the cost is 6500, then this is a no brainer first choice for wheel IMO. If I haven't spent $$$ on my HRE P40....
Unfortunately I think in the US it will be 8000, from the info obtained so far.

Be careful about VAT. If you buy something retail in Germany, you WILL be charged 19% VAT. If you are an American traveling there, you can get this refunded at the airport.
If you are not traveling there and buy something by mail order, you can send the ORIGINAL receipt along with some VAT reclamation forms to the German government. Then, in SIX TO NINE MONTHS, if you are lucky, and your application for reclamation is approved, you will get your refund. Maybe. Sort of.
I go there frequently. I have not had good luck with the VAT reclamation scenario by mail. If you plan to do this at the airport, allow TWO EXTRA HOURS.
Or you can wait for BBS to release the F1 wheels in the USA. Betcha they're $8000.

But then, that's Italy. ALITALIA = Always land in Tokyo, always luggage in Australia.
