Just for fun (I already ordered a wheel in Piano black from Stuart) I looked around on EBAY to see what was there and found this.

Notice there is an extra charge of 300 dollars on top of the already overpriced "buy it now" price of 475 if you want carbon fiber!!!
So lets see, if I wanted to go through these guys, it'd be
475 - buy it now price
35 - shipping
250 - core deposit
300 - carbon fiber upgrade
= 1060 to get the wheel to me... 810 when I got my core back!!!
Stuart is
295 - wheel
0 - shipping (Thanks stuart :) )
150 - core deposit
0 - carbon fiber upgrade
= 445 to get the wheel to me... 295 when its all said and done.
Now also I am not getting the carbon fiber so in reality that is not an issue for me and he is also doing a custom job for me that is not pictured like normal. I wanted the hard parts to be at the normal 12:00 position and instead of the piece at 6:00 he is doing one at 4:00 and one at 8:00. I think its gonna look awesome and those are the areas I actually touch the wheel. NO EXTRA CHARGE!
Basically, for carbon fiber, compare 810 to 295 and we know that we are getting a hook up!
I Love getting a good deal especially from someone on a forum that is all about relating to the customers and customer service.
Thanks again Stuart!
BTW, any idea when my wheel will ship out? :D
