This is what happens when car manufacturers gouge consumers in the home market to subsidize car prices in other countries!

Would you pay US$100,000 for this???
A Korean car company owned by China?s Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation thinks Koreans will (and idiotic Koreans have!).

Chairman? Wasn't that put out by Ssangyong years ago? I remember a friend of mine bought one here saying it was just as good as a MB but a bit cheaper -- I asked him how much cheaper and he said 8%... LOL

The older Chairman is based upon the really old Merceceds Benz W124 E-Class. That was a good car in 1985 when it came out. The key phrase being "in 1985"... it is now 2008. The car design is now nearly 25 years old.
The new Chairman W has a transmission from a W140 S-Class... a car that is now nearly 20 years old!

I thought my company provided Genesis was bad!
Spend a US$100K on this car? Anyone who does needs his head examined!

About half the price... Hmmm... Not bad. What condition are they in?
Are these for the E60? They look BMW:

You can try checking:
http://crass.on.ru/bmw/wheels/
This site has all the BMW OEM wheels.
As for the BBS AIR (NOT!) ll CYs...

If you like them, get them. Don't worry about the weight. I think wheel strength is more important in real world driving.
