You're better off keeping your OEM wheels lolol.

To me the point is to reduce rotating mass and unsprung weight, and to possibly get a bigger contact patch. To some people the motivation is also about aesthetics as they like the look of aftermarket options more than the OEM; personalizes the look of their car a bit.
edit: Re-reading the thread, rL-gT: Are you implying that $1000 is to little to spend on wheels for a $25,000 car? Hell I don't get people that spend $3000 on wheels on Porsches or Corvettes either when excellent wheels can be had for $1000. I just got back from SEMA and the number of "bling" wheels on display in both manufacturer's booths and on display cars was silly. Enkei has some nice new designs as does a few other manufacturers.
