Here is my answer to that. 1- A person who buys these wheels will not drive this car everyday. 2- A person who buys this wheel can afford for someone to come to their house everyother week and take the wheels of and clean them 3- A person who buys these wheels do not care to impress a girl sitting in the next car. They probably have a lot of bling and green to do that. They just want to be seen in a one of a kind car. 4- Oh!! by the way these wheels are not $ 2,000.00 retail They are aprox $ 4,500.00 you haven't even done your homework right to be able to judge these wheels. Why don't you call the manufacturer and get more facts. As far as your comment about keeping the wheel clean! Here is my answer to that.

Low profile tires get hot a lot quicker than normal tires, and that might just melt while you're cruising on the highway. Not to mention that the lateral forces that the wheels have to support when you make a sharp turn are enormous, especially at higher speeds. What's to stop that plastic contraption from falling apart when you corner? This has to be a show-only item, not built for practical, real world use.
