They should be quite reasonable for a one piece forged wheel....they are less than both the HRE monoblok and the Champion Motorsport, and a lot less than the NEEZ.

CCW makes monoblock forged 1 piece in 18" for $2600. Mine have been perfect, 1.5 seasons so far.
To be almost twice the price is interesting. Why so expensive?

We don't set the retail pricing, so that question would have to be left to the manufacturer. I am not terribly familiar with CCW so I am unsure of their product dynamics, but a lot of people have purchased other brands of 1pc forged wheels for Porsche at a higher price than ours.

For example, when the HRE Monoblok was released, there were some that publicly complained on the board about their pricing being too high, but it certainly hasn't hurt the sales of their product, and as an HRE top 5 dealer, we have sold a decent amount of those ourselves. A 19" in the HRE retails for 5620 with no discounting allowed.

There are obviously some brand advantages with the HRE which allow them to command a market premium, but by the same token, I don't think the AMT is overpriced.

Are you trading the OEM wheels with tires or wheels only? Are you interested in 19 or 20, and what style and finish?
