Put another way... anyone on a limited budget or only changing wheels for looks won't be in the market for an FI-R even if the CI-R didn't exist. Anyone who is in the market for a wheel of the calibre of the FI-R would never then consider the CI-R which is relatively heavy.
If anything, the CI-R will IMPROVE overall BBS sales... people who like the look of the FI-R but can't afford it might buy the CI-R. Anyone who wanted an FI-R would only buy the FI-R regardless. Why? They have the $$ and either want the quality or the bragging rights and the CI-R give them neither. |
lol your argument is that if someone has the money wand want to spend it. Thats not a good way to argue. There are alot of people who has the money to buy 2x the FI-R but wont be spending the money on FI-R just because it is more expensive. With all respect that's dump. If the same company is making a cheaper version which look 90% of FI-R but a little heavy, why would someone (even if he can afford it) spend the money on much more expensive one? Unless he is looking for attention "Yes I can afford these" lol they are many people who don't track their M's so put that in your mind. They don't care if it is heavy or not
From enthusiasts point of view, both look good and similar.
