Several thousand that is a serious waste on a $25k car unless you're a kid living at home with his parents and got some cash burning a hole in your pocket. Nothing is more off putting than wheel snobbery in a wheel/tire subforum. Between this and the "replica wheels are garbage" thing going on, it is hard to read some posts in here and not shake your head. Once somebody grows up and understands the concept of depreciating assets, much of car culture really becomes laughable. So much more on a non-collectible throwaway vehicle like a twin.
Yes it's a 25k car. And the kid that lives with his parents, had it bought for him. Big deal. We all have our own burden.

As for a serious waste. Spending thousands on something that makes you happy is not a waste.
