So not only did they rip off the Mine's product, they ripped off the Mine's picture too.

If you're that wealthy, why are you in a 350Z would be my quesiton to those rare few that have purchased such carbon pieces. I'm baffled they even make em if they are so expensive. You'd think if noone bought them they'd stop making them.

I'm sure the 350Z following in Japan is much better than in the US. Quite a few people don't get a car for status. It's spending money on high quality parts for a car you love. If this bothers you... check out eBay for low quality replicas and send wheeldude a pm for some cheaper knockoff wheels.

?? Same reason people who have millions still shop at Walmart. Even rich people use toilet paper, lol. It's a matter of preference. Just like not every Corvette owner is in his mid 40s having a mid life crisis. Many Z owners have dropped over 20K into their engines alone, just look in the FI section. Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys and billionaire, still drives around in a Ford truck and a Lincoln Town Car

Have you seen the videos from Mine's japan shop/facility? It looks like they're
building space shuttles. Roll your eyes all you'd like, but there is not anyone in
the states developing aftermarket parts for japanese cars on the level of MINE's.

Deal with it.
