well I mean I am not loaded and if I like the look of the wheels and they are too expensive for me I will be looking for replica ones for cheaper and still get the same look for less money. Would I be ashamed to say they are replicas, no, will I be a poser in some car nut's eyes for doing so, most probably, will I care, fuck no. haha
