For anyone looking to spending hundreds to get light/aero OEM wheels ... Hopefully you're doing this primarily because you like the look of the wheels and you think that's worth spending money for.

Because it likely doesn't make sense to do this as a way to save money (ie. recover your cost). Have you done the math?
