LOL Rob! Can I firstly just say thank you for such an entertaining thread! Seriously, I am very amused! To all those looking new wheels - Why are you buying them? If your looking an attractive set of wheels to make the car look good - buy accordingly. If your looking a sturdy wheel that will takes years of off-road abuse, kerbing and allow you you drive into every pothole you see at 80Mph - buy accordingly. If your looking a very light wheel that will shave 0.00000000000002583 seconds of a lap or 1/4 mile time - buy accordingly. If your a rich bastard and have the money/resources/contacts to buy a wheel that meets all of the above criteria and get it shipped from Japan - fair play. Just don't get on your high horse and get all arrogant to those that can't. Damn! I hate being poor right now!
