I bought my Warp 9 rims when they had a sale. Paid $115 for the front and $169 for the rear. I reused the OEM hubs, spokes & nipples so my total up grade Cost was $284 plus all of the fun build labor. Rear hub is the cush-drive style CSC originally spec-Ed on the RX3. I’ve done some decently rough stuff with these wheels and spoke tension is stying nice and tight.

Performance improvement is minimal, in theory the best place to save weight is in rotating parts. The bling factor and enjoying the process where also part of the value for me.
