Well...about one and a half year ago when i bought the turbo and started to modify it,i took prices from all vendors and shops being advertised here...same email sent to everyone for the same turbos plus hoses,etc...Prices had differences and i did this research every time i bought any part for my car...whether you like it or not Vivid Racing made me much better prices than competitors so i bought many parts from Dan...Also they had very good customer support...when a part failed,two days later i had new one in Greece...I do not thing that i have any reason to public the price i got the wheels from Dan,scanning my invoice so that YOU can verify that...its something between me and him...i just feel happy i bought these wheels at that price...otherwise i wouldn't buy them(they are etremely highpriced as you might be aware)...This is one reason this forum exists...to write down what we do on our cars,what we buy and what modification we do...To write down good and bad reports on products we buy and test on our P cars...Dont you agree?Dan might gave these wheels for free to me...If you were me wouldn't you be happy?Well i am and i am sorry if you dislike my post...
Also have in mind that Dymag is UK based company...and I might have better price than buy them in US...Less shipping charges...So no...there is no store here to represent Dymag wheels...And of course the price is not compared to any store here...

While you are at it, why don't you share the "extreme low price" with all the members. I know what I can buy them for and it would be very helpful if the "extreme low price" was known by all. If this price is really "new and exciting" I'm sure it must be way below anything else out there. Please post the invoice or bill so we can see. This way you can help other members by letting them know in advance that Vivid truly has a price substancially below all the other vendors (documented with some information) rather than a post look like a sales pitch . I would expect by your description to be able to by them 25% to 30% below anyone else's price. If this is true that would be great news.
If you re-read my first post you will see that i just wanted to find out other members experience from these wheels...i did not stay to the price...I wanted to have more information about these wheels in our cars from other members...I really dont see a reason for you to take it personally...
(i bought the used ones)

Chad,

I think the OP was just trying to give Dan a "shout out" for good service and a fair price. Considering the international reach of this forum, I think it may be safe to assume that not everyone has command of the English language like you or I (No offense Skandalis).

If that is the case ........... no problem. It's good to hear he is happy with the price and service of Vivid. I believe a lot of member are. The way it was posted looked to me as if there was a lot more involved.

My apologies.

The wheels were trade ins and sold at a USED price. The DyMag wheel quality is great. Skandalis you will have no problems. You can read good and bad about many products.

With these or any wheels, please try to watch for the following that can hurt your wheels:

Smashing into curbs
Jumping the car like the Dukes of Hazard
Getting in a police chase and then having them shoot out your tires
or...
Putting your car on blocks and trying to run it in reverse to reduce the cars miles, Bueller, Bueller.

Dymag wheels are very well built. I remember about 5 years ago when i saw the first 5 sets being made. Was almost going to pick up at set, almost.

Good luck and enjoy in good health.
