I'd never blow a few grand on wheels for a POS. I'm a physics guy. In a thread where the merits being discussed are aesthetic, the desire to make a performance argument seemed to creep in there. The only way wheels affect performance are weight and when they are designed to improve brake mechanism cooling. Like gabe said, most people will never see or feel a difference. It's an aftermarket BS sales pitch. Talk to a Formula 1 engineer and he'll school ya. I don't even own a car.
