How can a set of HRE or Savini Forged drop the value of an exotic? Modding the engine and suspension, yes I can see that. I only mentioned wheels. Who needs to increase HP on an exotic anyway.

wheels wont drip the value, in fact, it could very well increase it. if the factory wheels are sitting, beings tored, when they go back on for resale, they are PERFECT. no curb rash or pits or anything. as such, the car is worth more than it would be if factory were left intact for the duration of ownership.

Some people think it's sacrilege to put aftermarket wheels on an exotic. I think it's a sin not to. Modded exotics are the stuff.
yeah i agree the m3 was kinda out of place. i would love to join one of these caravan, but probably not in the cars i have
