the comparison you made in your op was absolutely not solely about aesthetics because you brought cost into the equation...

I used the terms design language and design ethos which their definition is solely about aesthetics. Design ethos literally means 'the spirit of the aesthetic design'. Cost was also part of the point. A base 370Z is 1.5% the cost of a Bugatti. And you get wheels in a similar asthetic design ethos to said Bugatti. Sounds like a good deal to me.

And you just proved mine... Do you have a way to support your argument without using faulty logic? You don't get to say your argument was solely about aesthetics when you incorporate other factors in your argument. Let's say I have a toothbrush that costs 1.5% of the cost of another toothbrush. What if the cheap toothbrush is made of toilet paper and disintegrates immediately upon use? Or what if that toothbrush costs $100 and is being compared to a $15,000 toothbrush? Whether you like the aesthetics of the toothbrush has absolutely nothing to do with anything else other than your own personal tastes. So your wife thinking that the base wheels look better than the sport pkg Rays or Nismo wheels is nothing more than a reflection of her tastes. For you to extrapolate and promote that these are good wheels solely from that information is a red herring fallacy.
