I wouldn't expect you would understand. Just like you not only didn't understand basic economics, and you didn't even try to think about it and put any effort into understanding it; you just started talking nonsense.
1. No, I don't work for this company
2. No, I don't have anything to gain by him selling a set of wheels
3. No, I'm not trying to convince you why you should pay 2k per rim
What I am trying to do Junior is eductate you, to help you understand. So why do I have only 16 posts....because I have a job where I travel for a living and work on average 16hr's a day. So why did I take the time out to post an essay about economics for a random web board? Because if you watch the news at all; this area of our lives is very important right now.
Too many people don't understand economics, and why a company charges $2,000 for a wheel, or $3 for a gallon of gasoline. Since this board is full of enthusiasts I figured I could use this question of "Why does a wheel cost so much for a Ferrari" and you would soak up the information like a sponge...and being smart people apply that to other parts of the world economy so you could also understand why even though Exxon is charging you $4/gal of gasoline and it used to be $1/gal just 6y ago, they aren't really raping you...they are just trying to survive.
The stance that companies rape their customers, and that people want something for nothing; food stamps, welfare, medicaid, WIC, medicare, etc etc... That's why the Country is going to crap right now...and THAT is why I am interested in this thread. Cause if you boil it down to it's essence, the vast majority of American's are ignorant like you and just don't know.
P.S. - If you are offended by being called ignorant then I rest my case cause the public education system didn't explain to you what it really means good enough.
