I wasn't condemning the choice in wheels. These are in my opinion the best setup for 18" wheels, but it was interesting to me how he chose such wheels for the car, considering these wheels are mostly used on M3s as far as I have seen.

Actually for the VW market, they are popular with the performance oriented owners.
But your thought makes perfect sense. There are customers in those price point vehicles that do care about quality and lightweight wheels, so its a great option.

Actually, the R40 is our least expensive Monoblok Series. It is less expensive than the P40 Series.

The R40 series is designed as a specific motorsport wheel engineered to handle the additional loads vehicles encounter on the track due to stickier tires and refined suspension settings and geometry. The R40 is currently only available in 17" & 18” diameters to utilize more common track tire sizes. They weren't meant to be a beautiful wheel but a purpose built track slayer. To our chagrin, many of our customers have come to love the race inspired design and now utilize the R40 Series as a weekend track set up as well as a daily driven wheel due to it's versatility. That said, yes there is a bit of unintended overlap. I hope this helps to bring some clarity to the situation.
