Dang, I need me some Jlines then. Im sure someone would still get the same wheel as you. All they need is the basic info.

Bam, there goes your wheels down the road.

its mugen and it gives you more mad jdm points!
Mugen wheels are rare (m7's and the mf10l's are my personal faves from the mugen lineup) and you are paying for the name and quality.
These wheels will hold their value for a long long time since they will be in demand and have a very limited production time.
But when you just look at it, you are just paying for the name

Yeah and you know you can find the knock offs at pretty much any shopping mall now with minor changes. It's gotten to a point that if you have a real designer bag, everyone thinks it's fake anyways.

When I got my NR's installed, one guy came up and asked me, "Are those real or are they fake?". No matter what you buy nowadays, there is always an imitation that is cheaper than the original. To be honest, I don't think I would have bought these wheels if the wheel/tire package came out to $2000 or so. I was lucky enough to get a great deal on them which is the only reason why I have them. I know these wheels will maintain their value in the future. It's impossible to find anyone that will buy generic aftermarket rims for anything near a reasonable value anymore. Generic wheels tend to depreciate by over 50% in about a year!

what i was gonna say. Its a company/name made by the son of the Honda founder. That is enough to skyfly with prices.
Its bullshit in my opinion when talking bout quality n stuff. Better than Rotas? damn sure they are. But they would still get messed up with holes, with age n other things.

dont get me wrong...i do buy $200 shoes for myself lol
