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

Replicas are the suck. Go get some replica brakes and replica tires, its not like its a safety issue

SI's and fat five's are at a good price new, but i prefer to pay half the price for a used oem set.

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