No, he's obviously right.

I once drove from Milwaukee to Salt Lake City to have a car tuned, and babied it staying out of boost the whole way. It's painful, but easily doable when most of the miles are just cruising on the highway anyways. Injectors are the one thing you can't change and drive with untuned, but I just swapped them at the shop when I got there. |

Just a slight skew of opinion. I think PTuning's quality and attention to detail is Excellent, not just decent. And it's not more setup for Highway pullers. It's optimized for track bruising. They focus on "trackability" first then everything else. |

Rota has been getting knocked off for a while now... go figure. Then again I never understood why people think Rotas are junk. They've been making OEM wheels for Nissan, Mercedes, VAG etc for years. People equate price to quality when it comes to wheels more than anything else, when in reality it has more to do with marketing and conspicuous consumption.

They've been manufacturing OEM wheels for all of those brands (and a few more) since the late '70s. OEMs normally don't enumerate who white-labels their stuff in press releases . You're correct about where quality comes from... but too many people think that there is a 1:1 correlation between quality and price. This just isn't the case, and has more to do with conspicuous consumption than anything else. People buy wheels like they buy jeans and handbags, for the most part.
