Nate1647545505 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 This thread is awesome. Hard to tell with that angle, I'm no wheel snob, but some look appealing. Would black rims on a silver car be ricer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 A lot of very sought after wheels in that picture... But I would expect a reaction like this from the typical CR goer. This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGGU Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Unless it makes my car go faster, or stop better I have no need for it. you do know that wheels help the car go faster and stop better with lighter wheels right wags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 you do know that wheels help the car go faster and stop better with lighter wheels right wags? Yes sir, that is why I am going with some lighter ones myself What I am talking about are "fashion wheels" that are for looks. I am not a fan because they will look dated quick, but that is just my way of looking at it. I am a fan of cross breeding wheels to different cars when the look is right.

Diamonds Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I like fashion wheels as long as they are quality... and not knockoff junk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Unless it makes my car go faster, or stop better I have no need for it. what about structurally better? (IE - tougher to break/bend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I like fashion wheels as long as they are quality... and not knockoff junk. I can agree with this thought and wish more people used this logic. what about structurally better? (IE - tougher to break/bend) That kind of falls within the same idea, like replacing stock suspension stuff or crap rubber mounts. My taste in cars and mods is clean and done right. Look at cars that were done up all F&F style, that trend died and now your car looks like a school bus fire. Now a well built import that is done right won't go out of style.

Diamonds Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 to me, this is done right (minus any stickers it may have on it). most might say its rice because of the aero, wheels, etc... but i don't care. it fits my style. Hits all my hot buttons. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/s15driftking/koopa-1.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crazy ass colors, horrific grahpics, aero kit is done right, I can dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I'm much simpler than that... Any car that looks cleanly modded, very few mods, almost appearing stock with a nice down and out fitment makes me dickhard. Great fitment on quality wheels makes or breaks a car's appearance. Get that sunken shit outta here. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/bsaudia4/photobucket-4795-1328416418004.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a189/bsaudia4/photobucket-4727-1328416417090.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 See, when I see a wheel/tire combo with the lip completely exposed it just screams "Oops! I bought rims that were too wide and now I have to make them fit." to me. Same goes when the wheel is poking well outside the fender. Ultimately, it just looks like a half-assed job to me. The red car above looks good, though it also looks like it'd suck to drive. I can't tell how much the rear tires are stretched, but hopefully not much. The R32 and the Porsche on the other hand don't look good. The width and stretch of the R32's wheels make them look like the owner just bought the cheapest set of rims that looked good off craigslist and didn't bother with fitment. The Porsche looks silly because that's a good 2 inches+ of rubber that could be put down PER CORNER for more grip. It looks like he's too cheap to buy the right tires. I know it's for looks and some people like that look. I'm just saying what it looks like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuicedH22 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I prefer hella-functional over hella-flush. I prefer optimal suspension geometry for corner speed, over stance yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
