Dont worry...once you curb it, a rock hits them, hit a pothole, or something hard in the road you will relize why you should have gone with the REAL thing lol

I guess unless you baught your 370 and making less then 30k a year..barely able to make the payments then I can understand, I was there the first 2 years I had my 350.

I should also mention this, you can get a set of TE's in near perfect condition if you go over to the 350z forums for cheap. People always sell used sets for around $2500 with tires around 60% tread.
ive talked to the shop distributing these. they are 350z specific, they arent universal wheels. the hub bore, offsets, etc are all intended for one particular car (they have an e46 and e92 fitment also).
they seem to be of good quality according to the guys, we are going to sample a set or two and then see how it goes from there. they do have have JWL VIA stamps, and the company backing them is awesome so far in terms of service.

statements like the above quoted statement are ignorant in terms of money. Even used, id be hard pressed to spend 2500 on tires and wheels. it is well within my means, but if i was making double what im making now, i still wouldnt spend that much. saying high quality replicas are not worthy and should be avoided is like saying Levi jeans should be avoided because True Religion or Diesel jeans cost more even though they do the same job. For those DDing and not hardcore tracking or xcrossing, who cares? is that extra money worth getting a few extra guys wet in their pants at a car meet? just my thoughts
