... I'm with him on the "Black robs the wheel of detail." comment though.

Those rims would actually be awesome if they were 16" but since the "Marketing Boyz" are on board, they'll be 17" boat anchors like the SE/MSM because they have extra perceived "Wank Value" which trumps performance and handling to marketing.

... and don't give me sh*t about the fact that you can fit larger rotors and calipers with bigger rims, the ND doesn't need them, except for even MORE "Wank Value", which I guess allows them to charge more $$$ for so that the customer can think that the car's even more "special".

Hmmm, I think I'm getting how this marketing BS actually works!

Will this version fix the weak RWD transmission too???

Depends on the style of wheel and the "type" of black - but yeah, on the whole I'd agree.

The design of the wheel, while nice, is nothing special. Similar design has been around for years by many manufacturers. Very similar to this Oz Racing Wheel

Why do none of the pics pete provide are viewable to me? Just a little icon with the green mountains on it. Or is that just part of the fun?

They are visible to me. I wish his words looked like green mountains...
