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.

No no. $1000 is fine for a good used set of wheels.
Not really gonna find good new quality stuff for Under $1000... and I dont think we really need to get into the whole "why you shouldnt buy Rotas"
(RPF1s go for around $1200ish, Amazing price)
But I do love big lightweight wheels.
