If you can afford 5K a rim, and still drive a 240, you’re either a diehard fan, or need to have your head examined.

Nope. Example:

s13 = $2500 ish for a decent one.  
SR clip = $4000  
Body kit = $1500  
Paint Job = $2000  
Coilovers = $1000  
Exaust/Manifold = $1500  
Turbo Upgrade = $800  
Standalone or piggy back = $1000  
Other crap… this is assuming you are paying retail…

The list can go on too… I wouldn’t consider that to be crazy or die hard, if that’s the car I think it is, it is very fast…

Okay… and just the rims on this car exceed that list. And he has crazy-ass brakes front and rear. Atleast 60K spent on that car, which could’ve bought him a much nicer car, with way more potential. Point is, he’s either loaded and wasteful, and can afford to throw 20K on rims, then beat the snot out of the car on the track, where there is some risk of totaling it, and pretty much GUARANTEED that he’s gonna put some curb rash on those babies, or, he’s a total hard parker. Either way, I’m not impressed by someone pelting money at their car, I find it far more impressive when someone builds a crazy-ass car on their own, within a reasonable budget without throwing money away on stupidity.

If your $60k 240sx can go toe-to-toe (or better) with a $60k new car, then what is the problem?
