See below. If someone invested $8,500 in some FI, or $4,000 in some RAC wheels, it would be nice to be able to use them again... especially since there is no RAC wheel for the F8x M3.

People like GTS-R who aleady have a set of really nice wheels.
Also, people who actually track their cars. Choices for 19" track tires is very limited compared to 18" choices.

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
