Exactly .... 6000 is out of my price range - for that price get something that will up the HP - a turbo package

First curb rash and you shoot yourself.

They are great quality though, made in the same manufacturing plant as volks, etc.

For that amount of money, you could have HRE 545's. And those look a hell of a lot better than those.

Magnesium cost alot. and its very hard material.

Take it or leave it, no one is going to force you into the game.

These wheels arn't necessarly for looks. Magnesium is stronger but lighter (less rotational mass/unsprung weight). More for the track.
