Please keep in mind this is a little speculative as I don't have a solid reason for it, but I think it is due to them not being a very popular model. These still have the Lifetime Warranty against structural defects, a 2,830 pound capacity, and include the valve stem and center cap, so it's not like you are getting a lesser wheel by any means. Especially when you look at the exact same wheel in silver ( # AX02560655FPS), which is more expensive. This could also me due to the cost of materials to produce the black wheel, but I could not confirm that.

I must admit to being amongst the crowd that isn't in favor of this wheel as well. Personally, I prefer Mod wheels, like the HWT Hi-Spec Series 03 # AM22646, due to them looking like wheels on older muscle cars and older trucks, but that's just my opinion.
