But, like you said, it's about what you, as the owner, would be willing to spend.
I Just spend $900 on bike wheels because the manufacturer gave me a $500 trade in on my old wheels. A few years ago I bought some stock BMW wheels that were taken off of another car and they had Michelin tires with 70% life left in them. I paid $450 cash and sold my old wheels for $100.00. So, I am willing to spend twice as much for bike wheels as for car wheels they don't even come with tires. Am I a fool or an addict?
