If you can see some similarities between that 2 million USD king of sports cars and my 30k CAD sports car, then it was a heck of a deal.

It’s great you love your wheels. No hating.

But, justifying its beauty by saying a similar design is on something much more expensive...doesn’t actually say the said wheel is beautiful.

The smallest difference can make or break a design, so “similar” doesn’t mean as much as you may like. Then there’s always the saying “money doesn’t buy taste”. Something can be expensive but still be bug ugly.

Please don't put words in my mouth. The similarities are a stretch.

Just like these two women look similar.

A Bugatti is power in the hands of very few but I have always liked the 18” gun metal base wheels on the OP Heritage Edition Z very nice color! You will find that some of the Nissan wheels are better quality than some of the aftermarket wheels some people choose to put on their Z’s.

Exactly. Aftermarket wheels with very, very few exceptions don't match the design language of the car, make a brand new car look second hand, look cheesy, and can make an otherwise classy and elegant car look just like this:

There are some tasteful aftermarket wheels for our cars but they will cost you $$$.
