these are the most expensive rims ever made

user posted image

This rim costs an almost unbelievable £140,000! It’s touted as the most expensive wheel in the world, and for a few very good reasons…

The 18in rim is chrome plated and features 19 solid gold screws. In each screw is a 1-carat diamond gem, making 19 diamond carats per wheel.

AWR and jeweller Gerard Chopard Guillaumont build the rim, which takes around 100 hours to construct. A set of four wheels takes three months to complete, and deliveries have already started.

Unsurprisingly the first customers are believed to be the bling-hungry blokes from the Middle East.

you wouldnt be pissed off because as ive said before - you dont buy something so expensive unless your lifestyle suits the product. ie you're not going to go drifting or park next to gutters and you'll be able to afford polish ups and shit. i think theyre designed for the multi millionaires amongst us smile.gif
