^^^ 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.

This is bullshit guys. Someone tell me the main difference between the OP's car and this car that warranted such a night-and-day differences in responses. This guy gets annihilated whereas the owner of the Berlina was applauded.
Both are slammed with hella stretch and poke, albeit a little more stretch on the Suzuka. I think it's pretty clear this is about wheel elitism. He has XXRs and the Berlina is on CCWs. The problem for me isn't so much wheel choice as it is fitment, or lack thereof. On those grounds, the Berlina should have been met with the same disdain. If we're going to pounce on someone, let's not do it because of someone's wallet size.
