I think the quality justifies the price, don't forget, TWS did the IS-F TRD wheels (which is why these look exactly the same), if they're good enough for Toyota, they're good enough for everyone! I find it interesting at how undervalued these seem to be (at least in N. America), I guess they're not as good at advertising as RAYS, HRE, Vossen etc.
All that being said, if I was buying them for track use only, I'd be in the same boat as you, too pricey for just an occasional wheel. I'll get off my TWS soapbox now

You need to be better at rationalizing like me - you're really buying them for 50% off because eventually you'll sell them and get half your money back! And you can save a bit by going through a Japanese distributor (which I did).

Now I'm debating whether or not to just DD a squared set-up with nice lightweight wheels.. However, that would require using tires more suitable for the street. My initial plan was to use R-comp tires at the track for max performance. This decision would be easier for me if I didn't have the 2012 wheels, which I think are the best looking of the three OEM versions.
