i know that there are others out there that are seeing it, but i'm glad that you spoke on it. that is so true. i'm here in MN. jimmy jam has a 'lade with giovanna's, and daunte culpepper has a benz with knockoff lowenharts. wtf??? maybe they just don't know. but if someone knows the money is there, i can't understand why they would skimp.

They are all poseurs who buy what looks "dope". I remember when I went to Sprewell Racing for a set of Davins for my parents 750IL. Imagine my suprise when I saw I could get better ones from HRE factory direct for less. Some people just like to support the proliferation of bad taste in the industry today.

I watched the show. It was pretty good.

Ken, don't be so surprised that his H2 has 26" wheels. There is a picture of a LEXUS SUV (i forgot which model) that also has 26" wheels. I believe they were made by Yokahama?

This is the picture I am talking about:

That's my point, why sell the same wheels side by side and charge 3x as much for the other?

Same reason Toyota sells Avalon for $20k and LS 430 for $60k.

Davins spin and HRE doesn't.

If you make two wheels and one has a unique quality to it of course you will sell more. Camry and ES300, Mustang GT and Cobra, Z28 and SS, and so on and so on. The spinning wheel is a gimmick. It attracts alot of attention. It is geared to someone who wants alot of attention.

I don't know about 3x as much either, Maybe 2x as much.
A new set of HRE's will set you back $4,000-$4,500 without tires in 20in. Davins will run $10,000 (for the discountinued one) and $6,000-$9,000 for the newer models.

No I was getting the same spinning rim and all. The only reason I didn't buy them was the size, they were way too big. 18's are my limit.

That's true... Celebs are always given items to promote their products, because "we" will purchase whatever "celebs" drive, wear, smoke, drink, endorse, etc...
