Tell that to Jay Leno who took out his factory R seats and installed stock mustang seats because they were more comfortable. I bought the car because of how it made me feel when I drove it. If it had come with the carbon fiber wheels I would have taken them off for some aftermarket wheels anyway. I may over time pick up an oem wheel here and their untill I have a complete set but they would not go on the car.At the end of the day I spent 57000.00 for a gt350r.
Just a heads up aceā€¦...
Do your homework on buying the correct CF wheels. Donā€™t know what year the design changed but it did. Be sure and get all of the like.
BTWā€¦Good on you for the deal you got but more importunately, welcome to the forum.

I've bought a couple cars at CarMax in the past, and I seem to recall their corporate policy being something along the lines that if you discover any original equipment missing from the car within the first 30 days, they would order the missing parts. Might be a long shot here, but it wouldn't hurt to do some research and see if they still follow that policy. Who knows... Maybe they'll order 4 brand new CF wheels for you, or split the cost with you. Good luck!

Canā€™t hurt. All they can do is say no.

Holy crap. Not the 12k I quoted ,but you'd be looking at more like 24K.

They won't do that without a big fight, but wouldn't that be glorious.

Wouldnā€™t that be something!
Weā€™ll be keeping an eye on this. Why? Because I hate the man keeping the little guy down. ;-)

this used '19R sold yesterday for $100k (after BAT fee)...

You know how it goes, things are worth what people are willing to pay.. BAT is an auction platform that has successfully attracted the type of bidders that continue to overperform.. At the end of the day, people often have more money than sense IMO. It wasn't my money and if the winning bidder is happy, more power to him/her.

As someone in the business, I'm just glad we've finally turned the corner. Bids and pricing are rapidly adjusting in my surrounding markets on the bread and butter stuff. There will be some temporary peaks on the way back to reality.. Lots of people were sitting out, some people will have emergencies etc.. New supply has been making it's way on the lots. But, as I mentioned.. these types of cars and exotics will take some time to adjust. I mean you can't go out and get a new 350 R anymore.
