Welp, I guess I am the ONLY person who doesn't notice a MASSIVE difference in the driving experience.
I've gone through 30 sets of wheels, 90% of them are the real deal because good replicas like Varrstoens did not have a good reputation yet back then.
I drove on TE37SL vs ES222 one after another for winter/summer and with the same tire sizes, I could not tell the difference at all.
I can't comment on ROTA's because they have nothing but bad rep.
I had a bunch of different Work wheels like bomarchers, vs-xx, gnosis series and etc and I could not tell the difference from them versus those shitty TSW wheels. Yeah I felt like a baus but in the end, I feel like a turd for spending 5k on wheels on my, back then worth 40k, 350z.
Good for you if you do! Go ahead and do take advantage of that 0.2 second in 0-100km/h and that 1.x second per lap.
But for me, I will no longer spend a shit load of money on wheels that will get me from point a to point b in the same way.
Like I said, I know for a fact that most of us do NOT track our cars.
Look at it this way:
2010 Audi A5 + $5k wheels
vs
2010 Audi S5
I hope you chose the S5.

Hey if you buy wheels for style, that is fine, just realize you are losing some performance. At the same time, people buying pur rims for $12k is just plain retarded. Ronal, MHT, bbs, volk make the majority of the quality rims out there and are actually reasonably priced vs pur, adv1 etc
