I just wanted to add that my post (even though it's crazy long) was very elementary and only an approximation. And it didn't account for amoritization of costs for the Civic wheel among other cars that have the same fitment thereby lowering the cost of the wheel even more. It didn't account for actual production costs (hey, even Chineese sweat shops pay their workers).
If you want you can run the same numbers for a 350z/370z as there are about 35,000 Z's sold on average each year since 2004 (2003 only had like 9,000 because it was the first year run).
