Why are Reactor rims so expensive?

I don't understand why they cost so damn much. Are they forged or somehow manufactured out of something more than run-of-the-mill aluminum because of how sparse they are?

They're ridiculously expensive to me. I don't get.

I ran into the same thing a couple years ago. I called around the country to dealers that had them in stock and the best I could do was around 25% off list and free shipping.

I finally gave up and settled for 6 spoke take-offs from an R which worked out really well.

Aren't they Billet? That would make them cost a little more then say the cast 5 spoke they put on the F, but by no means justify's the price. I'm guessing thats why they're so heavy.

I have them on my bike and they definitely slowed it down going from a the solid w/ a 180 to the reactor with a metzler 260. I had put a 26T pulley on a long time before that and the reactors slowed my bike down more then the 26T helped it accelerate.

They do look good though
