The product line is aimed at the attention of car dealerships and such. The average Joe who drives an oem Honda, and smokes a curb or two goes to the dealer to find "one" oem wheel for $500......so this company offers a full new replica set for the the same price. They probably sell more than you think.

I'd see situations like this at my Acura dealership all the time

yes, but tires and brake is another issue, wheels are mostly affected (diferent) by looks
