Look on the bright side... all the people who hate your car were at least nice enough to go out of their way and tell you how much they hate it. I don't know where the bright side exactly, but you get my point. haha

^^^ because companies take time to research and develop products that are high in quality, for then other companies to copy the design and reap the profits from the original, well thought of design.
There is a reason why the real parts cost much more....they are of superior quality. For that alone, they are worth spending more on them.
I'm not trying to get on you whatsoever, but just shedding some light...put it this way: try selling your 600 dollar wheels for anywhere remotely close to what you paid. I can tell you right now, it won't happen. On the other hand, real used LMs sell for almost the amount they cost brand new (depending on condition of course). Fake parts will never retain any sort of value, unlike the real counterparts. This goes for anything. Ever notice why used OEM front lips still cost 300, when they are originally 360...you gotta pay to play.
In the end though, it all comes down to your budget...so whatever you can get, more power to you, regardless of real or fake.

^^Bro, you know for a fact that not everyone knows where they can buy certain stuff for cheaper. Whoever offered him 1100 cleary doesnt know how to do any research. and if they do, maybe they just don't want to put the time into it. Some people are lazy and prefer to pay for the leg work that someone else already did.

The only stretching I do is at the gym, tires that fit are simply common sense...which lately is not so common on these forums.
A 215 tire on a 10" wheel is just ignorant.
The owner's use of the car is irrelevant when you take it that far.
It's disappointing that form has become vastly more important than function.
