Where the wheels are produced will have an effect on the price...Where you buy them also has the same effect...Use your keyboard/word of mouth to find the best price...I've seen prices vary by $200!

Your analogy is backwards. More cars/trucks more demand, higher prices. Less motorcycles, less demand, lower prices.

Why are motorcycle wheels so damn expensive $1000-2000 EACH?
Because people pay it.
