I call bull, there is no way you saw 8's for less than 400. Also call it what you want discontinued or rare.If you knew the reason why u they don't make them would understand.

No way I saw them, eh? I wasn't saying it's common to see them at that price, just stating that I saw an elderly gentleman getting rid of them cheap because he wanted factory option wheels and didn't care about them. But, to be honest, I don't really care if you believe me or not. I don't have to justify myself to you (nor anyone else, for that matter). So take it as you like.

As for the 8" wide (and subsequent 9" wide) wheels; they were manufactured around E30's and other 4x100 rear wheel drive platforms (mostly BMW) that wanted to achieve better tire options for their track day vehicles. As the market for that size of wheel dwindled (due to more recent vehicles having different lug patterns and sizing), and the fact that ATS was suffering a small financial slum, the sizing was cancelled.

I would love to see the background information behind that story (not calling you a liar, but I from the information I've read... that was an "April Fools" prank).

If you're going to attempt to insult me, at least have some class about it and use proper grammar.

Without supporting evidence, your comment is hearsay on top of some slander towards me. I have yet to read a compelling argument/informative from you regarding the wheels.
