Pretty stupid.

You can bet all that work isn't going to cost him much less than 50k and even the people that make the wheels don't sound confident, clearly admitting that it wont perform as well.

I hope it works out for everyone but there is no reason to undo work that took a billion engineers a billion days to do just so it can perform worse and look different. Everything on the car is already at a level of perfection this outfit will find hard to match.
