1. No, I don't work for this company
2. No, I don't have anything to gain by him selling a set of wheels
3. No, I'm not trying to convince you why you should pay 2k per rim

What I am trying to do Junior is eductate you, to help you understand. So why do I have only 16 posts....because I have a job where I travel for a living and work on average 16hr's a day. So why did I take the time out to post an essay about economics for a random web board? Because if you watch the news at all; this area of our lives is very important right now.

Too many people don't understand economics, and why a company charges $2,000 for a wheel, or $3 for a gallon of gasoline. Since this board is full of enthusiasts I figured I could use this question of "Why does a wheel cost so much for a Ferrari" and you would soak up the information like a sponge...and being smart people apply that to other parts of the world economy so you could also understand why even though Exxon is charging you $4/gal of gasoline and it used to be $1/gal just 6y ago, they aren't really raping you...they are just trying to survive.

The stance that companies rape their customers, and that people want something for nothing; food stamps, welfare, medicaid, WIC, medicare, etc etc... That's why the Country is going to crap right now...and THAT is why I am interested in this thread. Cause if you boil it down to it's essence, the vast majority of American's are ignorant like you and just don't know.

P.S. - If you are offended by being called ignorant then I rest my case cause the public education system didn't explain to you what it really means good enough.

first of all you drive a crossfire and that tells a lot about you. second of all why are you still defending them? and third of all go join a crossfire forum and try to convince them to pay 2k per rim.

what your talking about has nothing to do with this thread so stop wasting time. no one in their right mind is going to spend that much money on rims. the companies are trying to survive so their charging 2k per wheel?

if a company is trying to survive they should make better quality products then their competitors for much less...NOT the other way around. that to me sounds like a get rich skim.

your calling me ignorant? well if someone thinks 2k per rim is to much and thats why his ignorant then YOU got a lot to learn junior.

maybe you should do some homework and compare their rims with their competitors and see if their actually worth 2k a piece

I know the wheel game VERY well, and no the insides of it too. BELIEVE ME guys, these wheels are not worth anything more then MAYBE 800 a wheel. I would say their is better for 800 out there. THey are no good, and they just look good.

it also depends on the weight of the rims. if they weight more then the stock sp wheels then their still not worth it

The weight is just as heavy as a stock wheel, or more depending on size. Its hard to judge as most sizes are always going to be different, but their materials arent any better then volk, jline, or dpe. SORRY

a lot of after market rims are actually heavier then our stock rims because our stock rims are so good that its hard to compete with them.

99% of work / volk / etc will be lighter than stock if you retain stock size... any time you get an aftermarket cast wheel it will be heavier...
