You could make an argument on where that extra cost goes to when you buy a higher end rim. I hardly track my car and spend the majority of my time in THIS car in the urban jungle which is LA. Where you are REQUIRED to vallet and most of those vallets care less about your car unless it's got a raging bull or a prancing horse on the hood. Can't tell you how many times I've had my expensive rim scratched or dinged up and have to fight with vallet company to get them to fix/pay for it, only to loose. No more! With rims like the XXR/Rota/etc., I'll just go and buy a new rim for less than it costs to fix/repair a high end rim. My personal opinion/choice on the issue. Do what pleases you. That's what I say.
